Who can resist a stack of freshly made pancakes, covered with the first ripe strawberries of the season? Now, there's no need to ever resist this wonderful breakfast treat. This is a recipe I've been using for years and it's the only way I can imagine eating pancakes. When I get up in the morning, I can whip up this recipe-for-one, to make some wonderful strawberry pancakes to have with that first cup of coffee!

Known around the internet as "protein pancakes," the recipe's so simple, there is no need for a link. In a food processor or blender combine: 1/3 cup each of oatmeal, cottage cheese and 2 egg whites. Add a pinch of salt, a dash of vanilla and a sprinkle of Splenda. Whir together, while you have a pan heating on the stove with a bit of oil spray in the bottom (don't forget the oil spray!). Pour the batter out into three equal sized rounds. Cook at a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then spray the top of the pancakes with oil before flipping. Cook for 1-2 minutes longer. While they are cooking, mash 3 or 4 strawberries and mix with a bit of sugar free syrup for your topping. Slice the rest of a cup of strawberries and arrange on top of your pancakes.

Dig in, and enjoy guilt-free!

Thank you Debby for your prompt response.
I wouldn't use any kind of artificial sweetener.
My concern is that your recipe is promoting it's use.

sharz, there's no need to add splenda. Pancakes don't need to be sweet! If you prefer, you could add a bit of real sugar, but its not necessary.

I'm concerned about the inclusion of Splenda in this recipe which otherwise seems quite delicious and healthy.
Is it an old recipe, perhaps written before the world, (AKA unsuspecting public), became aware of the health problems caused by artificial sweeteners?
