Those pancakes sound good, I’m a big fan of making something special for breakfast on the weekend when I don’t have to rush. I’ve been making these low-fat high protein pancakes once in a while, but now I’m wondering how I can veganize them since I’ve gradually been cutting the dairy and eggs back. Anyone have substitution suggestions?
They’re super easy, combine 1/3 cup each oatmeal (or mixed wholegrain hot cereal, I use one made by Roman Meal), cottage cheese and egg whites in blender. Optional: add some maple syrup or splenda, vanilla extract, cinnamon, whatever floats your boat. Blend into smooth batter and make like regular pancake (measurements are for one serving, one good sized pancake). I like to top mine with unsweetened apple sauce swirled with a little maple syrup. I’m thinking maybe I can replace the cottage cheese with silken tofu and the eggs with one of those imitation egg products like Ener-G? Ideas are appreciated.

those look pretty tasty even though only a 7, yo. I haven't had pancakes in ages...mmm. I've been sick with the flu ALL WEEK. How does that happen? Aren't healthy eaters supposed to be immune from that crap? I guess that's what roommates do though--spread all their germs around. Hmmmpf. Well, your recent postings have kept me entertained during my sicks days anyway =)

shananigans- I vote for silken tofu and/soy yogurt. I don't think ener g is what you're looking for here. If you have a recipe I'd be willing to give it a try?

Hmmm, soy yogurt. That would be even better since it’s something I normally keep around anyway. I’ve never tried Ener-G, just heard if it. I'll try it for breakfast tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

I have good results with the Banana Bliss Pancake, also from VLV. The kids and I love them with the blueberry maple syrup that's on the following page:)

I'm going to link here. Don't know why I haven't done that yet. Hope it's okay.

shananigans - I agree with Jess on the subject of egg replacers. Ener-G is pretty much just potato starch and a leavener of some kind, and it works well enough I suppose, but soy yogurt or even applesauce would probably be a better bet. More substantial as well. You could maybe use flax + water too, since that gets kind of gooey and egg-esque if you let it sit for a while.

ms. mercedes - I'm sorry you've been sick for so long! That's awful. I hardly ever get sick, but when I do it's always at the worst possible time. Like the last week of spring semester last year... it was finals meltdown time and I could hardly lift my head up for all the snot inside. It was awesome. I hope you're feeling better soon, and I'm glad I can provide a little respite from coughing up your lungs. :) Maybe you could make some kind of raw pancakes? That would be really interesting to see.

jess - Agreed.

kaivegan - I made those pancakes and like them a lot. I'm a sucker for banana anything. I think it was the size of the apple slices more than anything that made these fall apart. As for linking here, of course it's okay! I have your blog bookmarked - your daughter is absolutely adorable.

FYI - tofu/soy yogurt/oatmeal pancakes, not such a great idea. Not that is was terrible, but the consistency of the batter just wasn't right and it didn't really cook like a pancake should. Ah well, applesauce and maple syrup can fix many things.

I'm sorry we led you astray! I have no idea what your pancakes are supposed to taste like so it's a little hard to say what would be best to use. But you're right, maple syrup can cure many ills. :)
