Pancakes Revised!

Finn was taking a nap so I took an opportunity to try these again...

Pumpkin Pancakes

61 Calories a cake

(pro: 4.2, carb: 10.2, fat: .5)

4 cakes with 5 grams slivered almonds and 1/4 cup sugar free syrup:

Calories: 294.1 Carbohydrates: 50

Protein: 18.1 Fat: 4.7 total

100g oatmeal

120g buckwheat flour

1 tsp stevia in the raw baking

1 scoop cake batter

1 tbsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup organic pumpkin puree

4 tbsp Egg Beaters

3 Tbsp TJ pear sauce

3/4 Cup Greek Yogurt mixed with H20 In place of milk equating 2 cups.

Oh wow these were so much better and softer than the first ones!

I used half buckwheat flour and half oatmeal by suggestion and just used the food processor to make the oatmeal like a flour. I added to the flour/oat mix the stevia, cake batter protein, baking powder and cinnamon. In another bowl I did the puree, eggs, pear sauce and greek yogurt "milk." I mixed the two in the larger bowl and started cooking them on medium low. I think the temperature could be lower so that they can cook longer and not burn. I found that right off the bat they seemed like they were undercooked but after keeping them in the toaster oven on warm while i made the rest i had no problem. This made about 20 pancakes using a 1/4 cup to pour them.

Try these ones……

My first real flop, Flapjacks.

I don't think that they were as bad as I'm making them sound, but Derrick wouldn't eat them. I think that says a lot! First off I forgot to mix the buckwheat with oatmeal to make them fluffier and less dense. Secondly, there defiantly wasn't enough puking flavor. I would have liked to taste it more no next time I make them I plan on adding more. Lastly I used pear sauce instead of oil because I heard somewhere that apple sauce was a good substitute for oil, and well I had no applesauce so I used pear sauce. Well here it is in case anyone wants to try it or even make it better… Please add your comments and let me know how it goes.

Pumpkin Pancake (Serving: One Cake)

Calories: 78 Carbohydrates: 13.9

Protein: 5.5 Fat: .6

1.5 Scoop Muscle Gauge Cake Batter Protein (Mixed with water in place of Milk to equal 1 3/4 cup)

1/2 Cup Pumpkin Puree

1 Tsp. Salt

1/2 Cup Egg Beaters

2 Cups Buckwheat Flour

2 Tbsp. Trader Joe's Pear Sauce (40g)

1 Tsp Baking Soda

1.25 Tbsp. Cinnamon

6 Packets of Stevia in the Raw

In a medium sized bowl add the flour, Stevia in the Raw, baking powder, cinnamon and salt (The original recipe calls for Pumpkin Pie Spice but I had none so I just used cinnamon. In a second bow add the protein mixed with water with the pumpkin, egg beaters and and pear sauce. Once its fully incorporated add it to the flour mixture. I used a 1/4 measuring cup to pour it onto the pan. I used medium heat and they cooked pretty quickly so be mindful that they don't burn.

If you need help with the calorie conversion if you end up with more or less pancakes the batter had 1092 calories so in the end just divide by however many cakes you get.

Good Luck with these, I hope yours turn out better than mine did.
