That's great advice Barbara! I totally agree, Jessica, I eat them all the time and I absolutely love carbs for breakfast. I can't find the original thread, but I copied and pasted several protein pancake recipes from one several years ago. I like Mel's because the pumpkin and cinnamon makes them soooo yummy, almost like French toast. I always double or quadruple the recipe when I make it, cut out the psyllium husks, add a T or 2 of splenda, and use egg whites from a carton to save work/time (I believe you can get organic egg whites).
Mel’s Protein Pancakes
4 egg whites
1/3 c. oatmeal
1/2 c. pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
1/4 c. cottage cheese
1 tsp psyllium husks
vanilla ~1 tsp.
Cinnamon ~ 1 tsp.
a little water
3 servings, per each: 127 cal, 3.7 g fat, 13.7 g carbs, 10.2 g protein, 4.3 g fiber
Blend it all, and cook about 6-7 minutes per side. Or you can just pour it all in a sprayed pan and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. (A double batch fits nicely in a 9x13" pan.)
Also I've seen pre-flavored/marinated tofu in the store. I haven't tried it, but wonder if it tastes good maybe it would be even easier to cook b/c it saves the step of having to marinate it yourself.
