The best part of my lower calorie/carb day is my protein pancake.  I just love it!

This is what it looks like.  The recipe will follow.

Doesn't it look yummy?  I make it into crepe style so I don't feel I have to overdo it on the fruit since I can only have a 1/2 cup of fruit with it.  Here's the recipe:

Cindy's Protein Crepe/Pancake

Ingredients:

1/4 cup slow cooked oats raw
1/4 cup light cottage cheese
5 egg whites
cinnamon to taste

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend about 15 seconds.  Heat skillet and put half of your batter on the pan.  Watch your heat!  Too high can really destroy it.  My skillet is usually about 325-350 degrees.  Don't forget to flip your crepe! 

Topping Ideas:

1/2 cup frozen strawberries thawed to a warm soft texture.  Sweeten w/ splenda and put 1/2 on top of each pancake. 
St. Dalfour's Strawberry jam (it's the closest to natural and all right for those not on a pre-comp diet)
Cinnamon and Splenda
ED Smith No Sugar Added regular syrup (for those not on a pre-comp diet)
Any other type of frozen fruit thawed like strawberries.

Pancake Flavouring Ideas:

Vanilla extract
Sugar Free Syrups (I mix sugar free chocolate in mine).  Hazelnut, Chocolate, Fruit Flavoured.

ENJOY! :)  This recipe has been tested on kids aged 8 and 12, 13 and they all love it!  Just don't tell them cottage cheese is in it.  Actually, don't tell them what's in it at all.  They'll like it :)
