High Protein Pancakes

[Sassygirl06 962]

I know that we are supposed to avoid carbs, but if you just love pancakes and cant stop (like me) then I have a great way to enjoy them while getting in ALOT of Protein.< /p>

betty crocker complete pancake mix (makes 3 pancakes)

1/3 cup of the mix (5 grams protein)

1 egg mixed in (6 grams protein)

1/2 scoop Protein Shake mix ( I used Matrix bananas and cream flavor) (11.5 grams protein)

1/4 cup lowfat milk (3.5 grams of protein)

mix it all together and fry it up. I dont even use Syrup because the flavor from the shake mix makes it taste yummy all on its own.

in all it is 26 grams of protein, and 25 grams of carbs for those who count them.

I absolutely loved them, and I made them the same for my kids and hubby and they didnt even know the difference, they thought that they were regular old pancakes with banana flavor---hehe, I love sneeking healthy in!

this sound so good. I just got two recipes today for pumpkin bread and cinnamin swirl bread. If they are really good, I'll post it here. Yayyyyy! Thanks

I bought a package of the "Big Train" low carb pancake mix at a local health food store, and I think it's fabulous. It definitely has a sort of whole-grain taste, but other than that the tast and texture are spot-on. 11g Protein, 7g net carbs per serving, which is a little high, but I'm ok with it as an occasional treat. Sometimes I add some chopped pecans for a little extra protein - yum!
