Zone Diet - Perfect Pancakes
"This recipe came from my Crossfit Guru Vanessa VDB while we were stationed in Iraq. Hits the spot every time. You can make these ahead of time - they freeze well. Breakfast for dinner?"

- Yields:
-
4-5 pancakes
- Serves:
- 1
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup steel cut oats (4C)
- 1⁄2 cup fat-free cottage cheese (2P)
- 4 egg whites (2P) or 2 eggs (2P)
- 2 2 teaspoons peanut butter (4F) or 4 teaspoons sliced almonds (4F)
- cinnamon (optional)
- nutmeg (optional)
- vanilla (optional)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
directions
- Mix all ingredients in blender until thick batter. For your fat count, either add peanut/cashew/mac butter to your batter or top with sliced/slivered almonds.
- Cook on griddle just like pancakes with butter flavored non-stick cooking spray until done, approx 3 mins per side on med heat. Add syrup and enjoy!
- Scale as necessary. For a 3 block meal, eat only 3 pancakes.
- I personally add 1 tsp of cinnamon & nutmeg and a Tbsp of vanilla, but I like those spices in my pancakes to come loud and strong.

I made these on my mini waffle maker. This recipe made four 1/3 cup servings so I had 3 for a 3 block breakfast. Instead of putting nut butter in the batter, I put 1/3 tsp on each waffle and used just a sprinkling of blueberries to add a bit of sweetness. -

These were great, will make agian, thanks -
Made these for DH as an after workout dish, and they were a big hit! I used two whole eggs and cashew butter and used vanilla and a generous amount of cinnamon. Topped with maple syrup. I'd really like to eat them myself, but unless I find a sub for cottage cheese I'm afraid I'll only make them for DH again - and that I will for sure! Thanks for posting this recipe. Made for Healthy Choices ABC.
