I made these yesterday and they are so good! I added a handful of walnuts, a tad of shredded coconut, and topped with strawberries and agave, and yum! I made and pre-packed a few days worth, so all I have to do is pop them in the microwave at work. Thanks Heidi!
Yum! Just tried it
Great recipe! My 4 year old will review them for me tomorrow lol
ps-protein profile? Noticed it was missing from the list, just curious. Thanks!
Wasn’t too excited about changing my pancake recipe. No flour? No sugar? Even so, this recipe was tasty. We tripled the recipe for us three and were all very satisfied and full. Plus we got to start our day out right and felt great! Thank you for this recipe. We’ll be making it again next weekend.
Thank you for an easy yet tasty recipe, I shall use it with pleasure !!
Curious where the 13.1 grams of fat is coming from? Also, can you make them with regular uncooked oats? (We have no issue with gluten in our house.)
You can make them with regular oats. We have a gluten intolerance in our home.
Heidi – In one serving it states there is 2.9g fat and 13.1 g of fat. Is the 13.1g fat supposed to be 13.1g protein?
Can u use regular oats instead of GF?
Sure!
Do you think using a flaxseed egg in place of the egg whites would work?
You’d have to give it a try!
These really are amazing! Better than your average batter-prepared pancakes when it comes to flavor (and, obviously, nutrition). Just a note (an edit that needs to be made): you list under “What’s in them: 2.9 g fat and 13.1 g fat…? I think that should be 13.1 g protein!!! Thanks for sharing.
