Cravings

OK so this morning I woke up craving pancakes, not a good thing after weight loss, no protein and all carbs.  So I put my thinking cap on and came up with this better alternative.  It is not something you can eat often, but if the craving hits it is a better choice than plain pancakes.  Also the batch is big enough for a family of 4.  It should break down easily so you could make it for 1 as well.  Hope you enjoy this as much as I did this morning.

2 cups Jiffy baking mix -                                                    16g protein
4 scoops unflavored protein powder                              84 g protein
2 eggs                                                                                   12g protein
1 cup milk                                                                               8g protein
mix the Jiffy & Protein powder together with a whisk
crack the eggs and stir them, then add to the jiffy mix
add the milk and stir

let stand for about 5 minutes and cook like normal
It makes 20 pancakes = 6g of protein per pancake. 
I know it is not a great choice, but it still is better than a plain pancake. 

I used sugar free syrup from Market Basket and had a great breakfast.  I took 20 minutes and ate 2.  I made up for it later in the day with greek yogurt, chicken and steak for dinner. 

Hey Sookie,

check out theworldaccordingtoeggface.com (I think thats it but just search eggface and it shoud go right to Michelle's site)  she has an awesome pancake recipe that you use ricotta cheese and they are great. I'd give you the recipe but when I want to make them I just go to her site...I usually only crave pancakes 1-2x a year. and I now only use her recipe. Yours look good too but the cheese one's have a rich flavor and go down really easy....Have a great weekend...Laurie

Thanks Laurie, I have tried hers and the boys don't enjoy them.  I hate making two batches one for them and one for me & Hubby.  I am hoping I don't crave them again for a while, I can manage with 2 for the day, but DH didn't let the boys finish them off and kept at the last 4 throughout the day.   Thanks again I have gone to eggface a few times now.

Hope you have a great weekend it was so great here!

That sounds really good!  I'll have to give that a try!
