These puppies have some mad staying power.
Fitnessista inspired protein pancake, with a few changes. The first time I made them, they came out slightly dry. The next couple times were too mushy. This time, I used a secret k not-so-secret ingredient: OATS!
- 2.5 T soy protein powder
- 2 T WW flour
- 2 T wheat bran
- 1/4 cup multigrain oats (from TJs)
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- Copious amounts of cinnamon
- Some splenda
- 1 egg white
- Almond milk (didn’t measure – just added until right consistency)
- Cinnamon chips (not chocolate chips!!)
Topped with strawberry whipped cream cheese (Einstein’s brand) and syrup.
Yessssss. Perfectttttt.
I forgot how much I love oatmeal pancakes! A few years ago I lived off of pumpkin oatmeal pancakes, and won’t go so long without them again!
Was I hungry 3 1/2 hours later when I had some strawberries and Camel Dessert Hummus? (Caramel apple flavor, by the way is a-mazing. Tastes exactly like a caramel apple.)
Nope, not hungry. But it was sure tasty.
Hungry 5 hours later when I stopped by Cowboy Cookies for a spontaneous giant treat?
Nope, not hungry. But pretty disappointed by “The Wrangler” (oatmeal chocolate chip cookie). It was way too buttery and flaky for my taste. I like chewier, denser cookies that don’t taste like butter. So I only picked at it and ate about half? But seriously, their other cookies rock and I highly highly recommend them (especially the snickerdoodle!)
Hungry 6 hours later when I munched on carrots & BBQ ranch dip?
Nope, just munchy.
I really didn’t get honestly hungry until dinner time. Sure, I snacked all day. But I usually need substantial meals or I get shaky.
Power to ya’ pancakes!
I wasn’t even that hungry for dinner, so I had cinnamon raisin oats. With blobs of nut butter obvs.
This brand. I was lazy.
Except it tasted slightly like…plastic? I’ve had these oats multiple times in the past, and got the same plasticy taste. Not sure what it is about them. So I left quite a bit in the bowl. Sad waste π¦
And then I had an apple + hummus.
K, so maybe my appetite is just out of whack and the pancakes didn’t keep me full all day. But they still have staying power. Yummy staying power.
And soon after got all glammed up and ready to head downtown. Gotta love Thursday nights – drink specials and no bar covers? Me likey.
With my new boots on π
Which you unfortunately can’t see in the picture :-(. And I look ginormo compared to my teeny roommate!
Now I’m taking it easy becaue I work 7 am tomorrow until 4:00. Old Navy’s $1 flip-flop sale is tomorrow and it’s going to be ca-razy!! Check it out π

I didn’t much like that oatmeal either, but I couldn’t really pinpoint why.

mmm Great pancake recipe!
I love how you say “copious” amounts of cinnamon… story of my life. lol and those pancakes seemed to keep you super full! I’ll have to try those babies sometime!!
Oh those pancakes look great!
Your pancakes look awesome- and I looove pumpkin oatmeal ones too! You absolutely do not look “ginormo.” I love your top!!
Ahh thirsty thursday, i know it well π
Yayyy for protein power π I need to try those pancakes asap! I love the addition of eggs or eggwhites, makes all the sense! I have never really been a fan of pancakes myself but since finding the addition of fruit and pb, it makes ALL the difference! Now I love ’em!
The pancakes sound delicious, girl! Love meals with extra staying power:)
That top you have on is fabulous, btw. Looks really cute!
I missed the $1 flip flops?!?! UGH! I’m beyond bummed right now!
I wasn’t a fan of that oatmeal in the past either. Weird. Usually I love Natures Path products. π
