Original recipe:
* 1/2 cup dry steel cut oats (4C)
* 1/2 cup non-fat cottage cheese (2P)
* 4 egg whites (2P)
* cinnamon to taste (optional)
* nutmeg to taste (optional)
* vanilla to taste (optional)
Mix all ingredients in blender until thick batter. Cook on griddle just like pancakes. Top with sliced almond slivers or add peanut butter to the batter for your fat.
Now I have tweaked the above recipe into the following. (5-6 blocks)*
4 egg whites (2P)
1 cup of dry Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal (4C)
21 grams of vanilla whey protein (3P) (Vitamin shop brand)
1/2 cup of Stoneyfield plain organic
whole milk yogurt (Combo 1P,1C)
I add a little cinnamon and and stir all the ingredients in a bowl. The last time I blended them together, and after cooking pancakes on the griddle they came out more like cookies. So next time I am stirring and cooking the batter as is.
For the fat I add peanut butter on the side.
A 1/2 cup makes 1 pancake, batter will make 3 decent sized pancakes. They don't taste that bad and I believe would make a great snack as well. Especially if you are on the go!
*Note the 6th block comes in if I add maple syrup (which I do), then I have to have another protein to balance the blocks.
If anyone has any recipes for making Zone friendly pancakes by all means e-mail me or share in comments.

Who sells the steel cut oats? I've looked at Jewel and not had any luck.
You can buy the steel cut oats at Jewel. They are tough to find because no one eats them anymore.
I am eating the 2nd version of those pancakes right now. I am happy with the oatmeal and not blending them. Pretty tasty. Wish I had more syrup....
