Massive Protein Pancakes

BeachHead · 04-26-2005, 01:11 PM

Hey guys, i'm a lurker here but i finally decided to register because i wanted to ask a question. Has anyone else made Johnka's protein pancakes that were in this new issue of Mens Fitness? I made them and they were MASSIVE! I couldn't even finish half of them! Is the recipe listed in the magazine two or even three servings?

I've had them, I think I could maybe put down a third of them. If it's the same recipe as in GN, it is for 2 servings.

Oh Yeah, that's good stuff! I put the unused cakes in a zip lock bag and freeze them. Pop them in the microwave and your good to go.

They were originally titled "Mancakes", thus the size [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm glad they dropped the mancakes for the publication though, because it's a little on the silly side (OK, a lot).

They're similar to the ones in Gourmet Nutrition, but I don't remember them being that massive.

Here's the original recipe; maybe the ingredients got changed in MF?

Stir the following ingredients together in a large bowl:

1 cup whole wheat pancake mix (any variety will do, as long as it’s whole wheat)
2 heaping scoops of vanilla whey protein powder (ca. 45 grams protein)
3/4 cup skim milk
3 egg whites
2 tsp olive oil (or flax oil if you have it)

Cook the pancakes in a skillet, according to the regular directions, and serve with the following topping:

Combine 1.5 cups cottage cheese, 1/2 cup unsweetened frozen blueberries, and Splenda, to taste, and process in an electric blender until creamy.

Makes 2 small servings, or one large serving for those mass-oriented individuals.

Macronutrient profile, per serving:

wouldn't it have more protein than the totals you listed? The protein powder alone is listed at 45g. Then the cottage cheese, eggs...

oh...per serving...how much is the serving?

oh my God. I just made these into waffles and they are amazing. I followed his guidelines. Only changes I made were just 1 scoop of powder. They are really good! I had never thought to put protein powder in the pancakes, now everyone living with me is really going to think im crazy...thanks!

I could be mistaken, but I don't think the topping is included in the "Macronutrient profile, per serving" I use low carb grow chocolate instead, nothing like chocolate protein pancakes.

a chocolate spread?

I was wanting something different for breakfast today and remembered reading this recipe when I first joined here. I made them in the belgian waffle maker and added a little vanilla extract to the mix. They turned out really good. Not only did my husband and son eat them too, but when I wasn't looking, my dog jumped up, finished off a whole one along with about 1/2 cup of the topping...oops...guess everyone in the family approved

My dog is fond of them too [img]smile.gif[/img] I'm glad they worked out for everyone.
