Protein Pancakes

I experimented yesterday and came up with really good protein pancakes.

1/2 c flour
1/4 c wheat gluten
1 1/2 T baking powder
1 T Splenda
1/4 t salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c milk
2 T oil

Mix dry ingredients together until well blended. Mix eggs, milk and oil together. Mix the two together in small batches until just blended. Cook as you would for pancakes. I made "silver dollar" size pancakes and ate 2 with about a tablespoon or two of SF maple syrup. 

Really good.

I have a different  and very simple recipe  :  whole  wheat Aunt Jemima  pancake mix  ( 0.5 grams fat                                                                               per serving ) 

                                                                              an organic egg 

                                                                              real vanilla 

                                                                              a bit of  splenda if  Ur family  likes  emsweet 

                                                                              fatfree  cottage cheese  like  1/2 cup 

                                                                              mix it all up with fat free  milk 


                                                                              make em quarter sized (  they spread out  to small  pancakes )   - i serve with   real maple syrup   yum !    the protein keeps  me from dumping on em  and getting hungry  an hour later lol ... 
                                                                            

Ooooh I Love pancakes they are one of my weaknesses but I have not had any since before my surgery thanks Ladies for posting these recipes definitely gonna try it out....Now I'm excited LoL

How many pancakes did you get out of this recipe? I only see a grand total of about 16g protein and about 60g of carbohydrates in the entire recipe. I would call them carb-cakes  :P

The 1/4 cup of wheat gluten has more than that by itself at about 23 grams of protein. There's about 14 grams in the two eggs and then there's the milk. So I'm thinking about 47 grams in the whole recipe which makes 4-6 serviings at about 8-11 grams each. This is a lot more protein than in regular pancakes. Variables are the type of milk you use, the type of flour, the brand of wheat gluten, the size of your eggs. I made silver dollar size because they are still basically a carb, not a substitute for meat. I served these with veggie sausage.These are better for you than what is served at the IHOP or Denny's. Satisfies that craving without blowing the plan.  Moderation, as with all things.

You're right - I completely skipped the protein in the wheat gluten. The word protein didn't even enter my brain in conjuntion with the word wheat!

I like using the Bisquick recipe and usingSplenda, whole milk or half and half, adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder and 1/2 cup of sweet potato puree. SO good. Dense and quite filling.
