One whole egg
1/4 cup of Quaker whole oats (Oatmeal)
1/4 cup of low fat/no sodium cottage cheese
Mix vigorously and throw it on the skillet. Turn when needed. Cook both sides and then layer of 1 tablespoon of Natural Peanut butter over the top of the pancake. Here is the breakdown.

It really is a great meal. Drink lots of water with it and it really does fill you up. Good Luck. Obviously if this is too low on cals for some of you double the servings of each ingredients. I am going down on the scale and I eat this every morning after my workout. I also eat this later on in the day for meal four. Enjoy!

I'll have to try this, it sounds pretty good. I made my own protein pancakes, and they didn't turn out so well...

shamelessly stolen from another board I haunt - there called Shannycakes there. I'm going to try them with a little baking powder and try them as muffins. Easier to grab and go!

This recipe makes one BFL portioned meal for most ladies.
4 Egg Whites
1/4C Cottage Cheese
1/2C dry measure Oatmeal
Cinnamon - 1tsp or more to taste
Splenda - 4 packets or to taste
(optional) 1 cap of Vanilla Extract
Place all ingredients into a blender for 20-30 seconds. This makes a very thin watery batter. Preheat a non-stick pan on low to medium low. Spray with cooking spray and pour in the batter. I make 1 large pancake but you can make several smaller ones. The pancake is ready to flip when small bubbles appear on the top of the batter.
** Gentlemen would need to add another 4 or so eggs and another 1/2C or so of oatmeal (or fruit) to this recipe.
** Add 1/2 a banana (or other fruit) in the batter for a change of pace and a boost in carb count for this meal.
** Try adding canned pumpkin and some additional pumpkin pie spice for another variation of this meal (thanks Robb P ).
** I cook up 4-5 pancakes in advance for a tasty and very convenient on-the-go meal! As soon as the pancake has finished cooking, flip onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll the pancake like a fruit roll up or a burrito, cover in plastic wrap and store in the fridge. This will keep your ShannyCakes soft and moist.

Ok, I had to try this and did, here are my pointers for others that will try:
Keep the Heat Low! I had my stove at the normal temp I cook pancakes at and I overcooked this a little.
Also, this doesnt look appetizing when cooked (especially overcooked!) but was suprisingly good! It is a step above the protein powder cooking mix crap I have...maybe 2 steps above!
Good job on the recipe.

I recall reading somewhere that heating protein powder could render it useless or something, does anyone know anything about this. I've been wondering about this myself b/c I mix my protein with coffee in the morning and I noticed if the coffee is too hot it completely changes the texture of the protein and it doesn't mix well at all.

I just made some of these! The only difference, I used 2 sweet and low packets instead of splenda and when finished I sprinkled a little cinamon on them and some butter spray (parkay I think it was) and atkins syrup and it was GREAT!
