Berrycotta Pancakes from Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies
Yup, you can still eat pancakes. These pancakes are made with whole-wheat flour for
some added fiber and ricotta cheese to give you a protein boost to start your day. If you
have any extra, these pancakes freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave for a
quick breakfast on another day. Regular syrup has loads of sugar, so serve these pancakes
with sugar-free syrup or a dollop of 100 percent fruit preserves.
Stage: Soft foods
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Yield: 6 servings (2 pancakes each)
3⁄4 cup whole-wheat flour
3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1 1⁄2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
3⁄4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1⁄2 cup orange juice
1⁄3 cup nonfat milk
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 In a bowl, combine both flours with baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In
another bowl, whisk together the butter, ricotta cheese, egg, orange juice, milk, and
vanilla.
2 Combine and stir the wet and dry ingredients until just blended. Gently stir in the
blueberries.
3 Spray a skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Spoon a small amount of batter onto the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes or
until browned on the underside, then flip the pancake. Coo****il golden brown.
Vary It! Substitute the blueberries with diced apples or peaches.

Created this today as I had a couple of Asian Pears in the house and a dessert hankering....
Peel and thinly slice 1 large Asian Pear or a couple of apples. Put these in the bottom of a sprayed small casserole dish (around a bread pan size)
Sprinkle with a couple tsp of Equal or other sweetner, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, dash nutmeg, couple drops lemon juice.
In a bowl mix about 1/2 cup almond flour and 1/3 cup coconut with about 1/4 margarine, a couple dashes cinnamon.
Cover the top of the fruit completely. Bake, 350 for about 20 minutes, or until fruit is tender when poked with a fork. If the topping starts to get too brown, lay a piece of tin foil loosely over the top. Enjoy. This took me about 5 minutes to make.

TJ's soups are great to play with! I add pureed roasted pumpkin or sweet potato, cinnamon and ginger to the carrot soup. Thin it with lo sodium chicken or veggie broth if needed.
I add 0% Greek yogurt, Franks's Hot Sauce or Siracha to the Cuban Black Bean while i was on liquids. Now i add black beans and a little chicken to give it a little chew.
