Trim Healthy Pancakes~THM-E

By Kathy C.

These make for a great energizing breakfast topped with your choice of berries, fruit, all-fruit jelly, Greek yogurt,

(THM Cookbook, p. 480). Trim Healthy Pancakes use everyday, inexpensive ingredients, so it’s easy to make up a quick batch for yourself or feed the whole family. Our children are big fans of these pancakes. But even if it is only you eating them, it’s a good idea to try your hand at making a family batch, especially if you work outside the home. You can put some of the pancakes in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go breakfast and freeze the rest (using coffee filters or wax paper to separate the pancakes).

Preparation

Step 1

The best success in making these pancakes is achieved using a nonstick griddle and a light spray of coconut oil. The preparation is the same for both single and family-serve quantities. As waffles, they can be made in an electric waffle maker; follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Put the oats in a blender and blend until they turn into a powder. Turn off the blender and add the cottage cheese, egg whites, Super Sweet Blend, vanilla, and baking powder. Blend well, then allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes to let it thicken up.

2. Lightly coat a nonstick griddle or nonstick fry pan with coconut oil spray and heat over low/medium heat. Ladle desired- pancakes-size amounts onto the griddle and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, an additional minute or two.

NOTE: If multiplying the ingredients for a family batch, enjoy 3 pancakes for your serving.

The Trim Healthy Pancakes recipe uses no special ingredients ((NSI) when you replace the THM sweeteners with store-bought sweeteners.
