Challenge Pancakes

In honour of Shrove Tuesday, here is my (adapted) recipe for Challenge Oatmeal Pancakes, a low-carb, high-protein alternative to try out on Pancake day.

Note, this recipe "officially" serves one, but from experience, doubling it feeds my wife, myself, and our two children aged 6 & 4.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1/4 cup cottage cheese
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 scoops Vi-Shape Nutritional Shake Mix from ViSalus Sciences

Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix until smoother.
Spray a frying pan or skillet with a little olive oil cooking spray.
Add the batter and cook over medium heat unit both sides are lightly browned.

Top with toppings of your choice.  My favourite toppings include organic crunchy peanut butter, organic almond-cashew butter, fresh berries, and a dollop of REAL maple syrup.

Try them out, and let me know what you think.  I also sometimes make them without the added protein powder.  The first 3 people to try them and post a photo of their Challenge Oatmeal Pancakes will receive a prize--a t-shirt, a hat, a visor, or an ultimate disc/frisbee.  Also a prize for whomever refers the most shares/likes/+1s etc.
