  • Welcome

    Basically "Shanny cakes" are another version of the eggwhite/oatmeal protein pancake that are a staple of many of us Ladies who Lift with some cottage cheese added...

    4 Egg Whites
    1/4C Cottage Cheese
    1/2C dry measure Oatmeal
    Cinnamon - 1tsp or more to taste
    Splenda - 4 packets or to taste
    (optional) 1 cap of Vanilla Extract

    Place all ingredients into a blender for 20-30 seconds. This makes a very thin watery batter. Preheat a non-stick pan on low to medium low. Spray with cooking spray and pour in the batter. I make 1 large pancake but you can make several smaller ones. The pancake is ready to flip when small bubbles appear on the top of the batter.

    ** Gentlemen would need to add another 4 or so eggs and another 1/2C or so of oatmeal (or fruit) to this recipe.

    ** Add 1/2 a banana (or other fruit) in the batter for a change of pace and a boost in carb count for this meal.

    ** Try adding canned pumpkin and some additional pumpkin pie spice for another variation of this meal.
