Pancakes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I pulled these off the ZP site for you. I hope you find them useful.
6 Tbs. rolled oats
2 large egg whites (or one whole egg)
1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 tsp peanut butter or almond butter (I also enjoy 2 tsp. of walnuts for my fat instead)
Put the rolled oats into a blender or food processor and process on high for one minute to make flour. Add all the other ingredients and stir until mixed. Cook on griddle coated with vegetable cooking spray until golden brown, flip over and repeat. Makes 2 complete food blocks.
Banana Nut Pancakes
7 large egg whites
3/4 cup cottage cheese 2% fat
10 Tbsp Old Fashioned Oats
3 tsp granulated fructose
1 ounce chopped pecans
3/8 cup mashed bananas
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
In a blender, blend oats until "powdery", then add cottage cheese until smooth, then add remaining ingredients, except pecans until all are incorporated. Add pecans last (do not beat with the blender, or they will be puree'd) Fry up pancakes as normal into 8 equal sized pancakes. Serve 2 pancakes with 1 block of puree'd fruit of your choice and few additional pecans as a topping and 1/4 cup cottage cheese or 1 block of lean meat. (two pancakes is two blocks each) Feel free to modify with different kinds of fruit in the pancakes. Also makes a great before and after exercise snack. One pancake before and one after. Hope you like them!
Ricotta Pancakes
1c Part Skim Ricotta (24gP, 16gC, 24gF)
4 egg whites (14P)
1c oat flour- bulk from health food store (6gF, 48gC, 15gP)
1/4c water
1/2t baking powder
1/2c oats (2gF,22gC, 5gP)-the only ones I had
2t splenda (baking kind... not packets- if you have only packets try using just 1 pkg)
favorite extract 1/2t - 1t... vanilla, almond, strawberry, raspberry... or a little lemon juice and a little lemon zest is great!
mix all ingredients together in lg bowl. This makes a thick, moist pancake, so if you like yours thinner, add more water to get the consistency you like. Spray your griddle with butter PAM and drop 1/8c batter for each pancake. I got 37 small pancakes, so my 3block b-fast was roughly 12 or so. You could also decrease the oats by 1/2 and add a few dried berries. Also, when I want to save some carbs for something else I will use 2/3c oat flour and 1/3c soy flour, or Atkins bake mix.
total recipe makes: 66gP, 86gC, 32gF
or 9.5 blocks P, 9.5 blocks C, 10.5 blocks F
I short myself a few pancakes if I want to use the PB syrup or applesauce on top. It doesn't take much of the syrup, as the taste is really strong (and yummy!).
