I just love these pancakes sooo yummy, I used just two eggs and full fat milk to make mine and they were so good, at first I thought that they were a bit runny but they turned out just fine. My protein powder is vanilla flavour, and I served them with yogurt and mixed berry compote. I am a bit ashamed to say I ate more than I should of but they were so good. this is going to be a regular dish for me. I was thinking I might try it in my waffle machine that would be great. Thank you for posting. Made for the diabetic forum. May 2011 -
These turned out light and fluffy, and had a great taste and texture. I served with warm sugar-free cinnamon syrup. They are a bit high in fat, so may try them with egg substitute, and fat-free half and half next time. Great way to get some flax seed, though! Made for Diabetes Awareness Month Tag.

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago.
