2 ingredient pancakes.... About This Page:

[jenifermg0]

So this morning I made DS 2 ingredient pancankes...

Made with 2 bananas and 2 eggs (I added a pinch of baking powder and a pinch of cinnamon at the suggestion of several comments on the internet - so not really just 2 ingredients).

They were odd...also ended up adding a few mini chocolate chips and that improved them, but I'm not sure I will be making them again. Just a little too weird for DS.

DS was kind and said they were okay, but I know him well enough after 19 years to translate that into "I ate them because you were nice enough to make them for me but I really didn't like them."

I was looking for something that is high protein and low carb since DS is Type 1 diabetic. Any suggestions for higher protein pancakes or waffles...DS loves them but they require a lot of insulin on the rare occasions he eats them.

After rave reviews from many of my members (I work for Weight Watchers) I finally tried these pancakes. I agree, they are odd and I was not a fan.

I know many athletes who love the http://www.flapjacked.com/ mixes and eat these because of the high protein. I've tried them and liked them but prefer homemade pancakes.

My daughter eats a "3" ingredient version with sweet potatoes, peanut butter and an egg. She adds some cinnamon I think, but of course, then puts maple syrup on them. (Guessing that's a no-no.)

Look up ricotta pancakes. They work well.

I recently saw a video of pancakes with banana, peanut butter and eggs. I shared it on Facebook and he is the link to my page. I cannot figure out how to do the link to just the recipe.

Found a quick and easy recipe for the use of all those little bags of instant oatmeal that no one wants to eat!
You can use them to make pancakes!!!!!!!!!!

1 bag instant oatmeal (whatever flavor you want)
1 egg
Beat the daylights out the egg.
Add oatmeal.
Mix well.
Cook on buttered griddle just like a regular pancake.
Serve with syrup, fruit, jam…whatever you like.
Makes one pretty good sized serving!

The recipe actually included a spoonful of peanut butter, but you lose the taste of the oatmeal (ie: Brown Sugar Maple, Apple Cinnamon etc.) We tried it out a couple nights…after a failed attempt the other morning at a different 2 ingredient pancake (bananas and eggs…don’t try it – very weird!!) and it actually worked out pretty good. Too much peanut butter flavor according to DS and DH thinks it needs a spoonful of Bisquick or Krusteze, but I think it will be fine with just the oatmeal and egg. Was a little dense, but a pinch of baking powder might lighten (fluff) them up.


Still a little higher in carbs than I wanted, but with the egg for protein and the fiber in the oatmeal, better than some other choices out there.

Sent this to one of the active scout moms...they ALWAYS have oatmeal from camping trips that half the boys don't want for breakfast. And someone is always buying more!!!!!!!!

Can you use regular oatmeal instead? I am diabetic and would not eat the little packets-they have sugar added. I have learned that even a small amount of refined sugar and start up the sugar cravings.

Marie,

Does your daughter use cooked sweet potato or does she grate it. Sweet potatoes are a good option for diabetics =they have a lower glycemic index .

I bet quick oats would work since the oats are cut more fine than for old-fashioned rolled oats.

Honestly, any of the variations mentioned sound icky to me even though I love sweet potatoes.

I've done a fried cornmeal cake that is pretty good as a pancake substitute. Just mixing cornbread batter with more liquid works or even using cooked polenta that you form into patties. Of course, in this case, only if corn doesn't cause blood sugar spikes as it does for some and not others.

I don't see why he quick oats wouldn't work. They are pretty much "instant" as well

Sorry - just got back here.

Sarah uses cooked sweet potato - I usually just pop it in the microwave to cook it till it can be mashed. She really loves them.
