i got this off the net a few months ago. i don't remember who posted it, so i can't give credit. the first time i made these i made some changes. i tell about the changes in (). let me know if you make these and whether or not you like them. i am thinking about making them in the morning.


CORE PANCAKES

1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1/4 cup ff cottage cheese
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 splenda packets (okay, i used a scant 1/4 cup granular splenda--and i added a few sprinkles of butter buds. the original recipe didn't call for butterbuds, so i'm guessing it would be all right without.)

place all ingredients into a food processor or blender and process until smooth.

mist a non-stick skillet (i used a waffle iron) with butter spray pam. (the original recipe called for olive oil, but i didn't want to do that. i think butter flavor is better for pancakes/waffles) add the batter and cook over medium till both sides are brown and the middle is firm.

i'm going to make these from now on using a pancake griddle.

serves 1 @ 5 pts if you're not doing CORE.

top with fresh or stewed fruit. OR--SMUCKER'S SF BREAKFAST SYRUP (it's core!!!!!)

Hasty Pudding

Can also be served as a dessert.

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon light molasses or SF maple syrup for Core

In medium nonstick saucepan, combine 2 cups water and the salt; bring to a boil over high heat. In a small bowl, combine cornmeal and 1/2 cup cold water; gradually whisk into the boiling salted water until smooth. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring frequently, 2-3 minutes, until mixtures boils. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes, until thick. Divide bananas evenly among 4 small bowls. Spoon 1/2 cup cornmeal pudding into each bowl; drizzle each with 1 teaspoon light molasses or SF syrup.

Cream of Wheat Pudding (Core)
POINTS® value | 4
Servings | 1

breakfast | This recipe is Core; only count points if on the Flex plan. It's breakfast or a dessert - you decide. Optional: top with fresh or thawed frozen fruit (no sugar) or chocolate/butterscotch chips (count WPA/APs). . . .

Ingredients

3 Tbsp Nabisco Cream Of Wheat, 2 1/2 Minute
1 cup fat-free skim milk
1 egg
1 packet McNeil Nutritionals SPLENDA (R) No Calorie Sweetener
1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

1. Spray small saucepan with cooking spray, add milk and heat until just about boiling. Be careful as it will burn and stick to the bottom of the pan.
2. Add cream of wheat and stir with a whisk for about 2 minutes.
3. In a small separate bowl combine egg, vanilla, and splenda.
4. Stirring rapidly to avoid "scrambled egg effect," add the egg mixture to the cream of wheat and cook for 1 minute longer or until thickened to your liking, and long enough for the egg to cook.

Note: I use the long-cooking Cream Of Wheat...it turns out fine. I cook mine in the microwave...no problem~

got this off the net.

AFTER: Doreen's Core Biscuits
1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats

1 cup Oat Bran

2 Tablespoons Baking Powder

¼ teaspoon salt (I used ¾ tsp the first time and it was entirely too salty)

½ cup Non Fat Plain yogurt (Will try with unsweetened applesauce next time– might be lighter/fluffier texture)

½ cups Non Fat Milk

Mix all ingredients together. Drop onto Pam sprayed baking sheet. Mini Ice Cream scoop works well.

Bake for 12-15 minutes at 450 degrees F.

just got this off the net:

Cornmeal Breakfast treat: from WAP Tips Board

1 c plain soy or skimmed milk
1/4 c cornmeal
1t splenda
(or multiples of this one serving)

in a saucepan and stir constantly with wooden spoon until fully cooked
remove from heat and beat in
1 t vanilla
1 egg

Now here's your choice.....
today I made pancakes from it in a non stick pan.....heaven...topped with fresh berries

OR

fold in the berries(handful) and pour into a Pam sprayed cassoulet pan...bake 350 30min....it puffs up into a big corn bread thing....Totally controls the bread craving

i got this off bcb tonight. it's a little different from the other pancake recipe i posted here.

COTTAGE CHEESE OATMEAL PANCAKES
This one is really delicious, especially with the addition of the recommended ingredients.

2-3 beaten eggs (I used 1 egg and 1/3 cup egg substitute)
1 cup cottage cheese
Honey or a couple of teaspoons of sugar, to taste (a banana will make it naturally sweeter) OR 2-3 packs Splenda (I used 6 packs of Splenda,I have a HUGE sweet tooth)
1 cup uncooked oatmeal
1 tsp of baking powder

When they were done I sprinkled cinnamon and splenda on top and let them sat on the plate in the oven while I cooked the rest

Optional, highly recommended ingredients:
banana
a sprinkle of cinnamon
a splash of vanilla

Grab your handy blender and dump the ingredients in, in the order they appear (otherwise the mixture will get all chunky). So, eggs in first, then start the blender. As it's blending, pour in the cottage cheese, then the banana if you're using it, then whatever sweeteners and spices you like, then the oatmeal. Once this is nicely blended, cook as you would pancakes, in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. I love these plain or with fruit, but you can put syrup on them too, just like regular pancakes.
