[umpa]

  I just ordered  it. I am working on a dense wheat bread this may be what I need to add flavor to the oat fiber

[o0OSusieO0o]

Wish I could afford to experiment with ingredients. I'm so thankful to have you to do it.

JENNY'S BETTER THAN BOXED LOW CARB PANCAKES

  2 1/2 tablespoons  vanilla whey protein powder
      (I use 0 carb MIO Vegetable Protein Powder)
  1/2 teaspoon  baking powder
  1  Pinch  salt
  1  egg
  1  teaspoon  oil
  2  teaspoons  (I changed to) 2 tsp of SF Maple Syrup
  1 tsp water just before cooking

  Oil or cooking spray -- for the pan

Whisk all of the ingredients, except for the water and cooking spray, in a small bowl until smooth. Add up to 1 tablespoon of water if you'd like a thinner batter. Meanwhile, lightly grease a small nonstick skillet with oil or cooking spray and heat on medium. Pour in the batter and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the skillet. When bubbles appear all over the pancake and the batter on top looks like it's starting to set up carefully work a spatula around the edges and then under the pancake to flip it over. Cook until the second side is lightly browned. Don't let it get too dark or it will taste a little bitter. Serve with butter and low carb syrup, if desired (not included in the counts).

Makes 1 large pancake

I don't use a skillet.  I preheat my waffle maker and just before pouring the batter on the waffle maker I spray both sides with a light dusting of the cooking spray.  The batter has to be thin enough to pour but not run over the sides, pouring directly in the middle then close the top.  As long as your baking powder is not expired (LOL) the pancake is now the lightest fluffiest waffle! 

I had this for dinner tonight along with my crispy bacon and a couple fried eggs.  A really great low carb breakfast and so very filling.

I don't understand the bottom part of this recipe...do you put 2tsp of syrup into the actual batter? And what does it mean when it says 1 tsp of water right before cooking? Do you mean you throw that in after it's all mixed right before it's in the pan, or do you mean you put it in the pan? Sorry...I get confused on this stuff easily sometimes

Hi Taby
This recipe was posted by one of my moms who doesn't come on the forum very often.   I'm pretty sure what she is saying is to add the syrup into the batter and hold the tsp of water to mix in just before you cook it so that the batter remains thin.  Here is where she got the original recipe http://genaw.com/lowcarb/better_than_boxed_pancakes.html reading it may help to clear up your confusion.  In the original she talks about experimenting with different amounts of water in the mix.  I think you will see that Suz just swapped out some of the water for sugar free maple syrup.  Hope this helps   

[TabyTaby]

Awesome! Thanks for the help on that. I think I may nix the syrup/water addition altogether...most of those sugar free syrups have sweeteners in them I can't tolerate. Thanks again!

Okay...quick question before I make these...do they come out eggy? I cannot stand the taste of eggs...I gag and puke it up immediately...totally icks me out, and every "baked" or cooked or "bready" low-carb product I've made tastes very eggy :\ how does this one taste? Is it floppy and rubbery like an egg product is? Even the OMM came out eggy to me so I just left out the egg on it...but how does this come out? TIA!!!

[shawn116]

I wish I could help     Maybe someone who has tried it will come along soon

[TabyTaby]

Thanks TooSweet, I'll try it soon and report back LOL

[umpa]

Taby you should try the OMM recipe

[TabyTaby]

Thanks Umpa...I actually have. I made it alot the first time around when I was a vegan...minus the egg. This time around I tried it with the egg and it tasted really eggy to me :\ I couldn't finish it, it made me gag I hate the taste of egg and it came out very eggy...I think I will just keep on with it without the egg...when you take out the egg it has no carbs, as long as I use flaxseed! It doesn't rise as much but it doesn't taste eggy either
