Proatcakes

So, Steph got a recipe from a fitness-minded colleague for high-protein pancakes last week, and we resolved to try it for breakfast on Sunday. Not our usual kind of thing, but it sounded fun. Here's the result:

Oat, whey protein powder, cottage cheese, egg, milk and a little nutmeg & cinnamon in the pancakes, plus toppings of apple, banana, honey and a sweetened yoghurt/fruit/nut mix. Took about 30 mins to put together a stack of four with toppings, etc., although that was including the trying-to-figure-out-if-we're-doing-it-right time. I still wouldn't have the energy to make this on a week-day, though.

They came out quite well, although the mixture was a little thicker than it should have been (more milk!) and so the pancakes were a little thick. That's usually not a problem but this mix seems to produce quite solid cakes that absorb liquids less readily than traditional mixes.  I butterflied mine (double the toppings!) and it was great.

Also, these are ridiculously, hilariously filling.  We could not finish four medium sized pancakes between the two of us, and neither of us was hungry until about 3pm.
