OMG - These were AWESOME! I used chocolate protein powder and used a little bit of vanilla instead of almond extract, and these were AMAZING. It was like I was cheating!!! It was hard for me to not eat the whole batch! I ate two, then an hour later I ate a third! What an excellent start to my day! - 2/27/09

These were actually DELICIOUS! I have tried to make a variety of diet-version favourites, and thoroughly despised them all, thinking "who are they kidding, calling this a substitute!!!" but these were amazing. I recommend making them big like crepes, and eat with fresh fruit! also - blenderize mix! - 6/16/09

Ok. Maybe it was the vanilla protein powder I used. That is all I could taste. If I make again, I will try with less protein powder and blend everything first. - 8/21/09

Mine were't the greatest the first attempt either... I've got it down to a science now though! LOL I have these for breakfast every morning!
Try, Try again! :) Maybe try adding some cocoa powder or some artifical flavoring... Or even some blueberries! So many ways to spice it up! ;)

These were ok - I made them exactly as recipe calls for and they were very dense and didn't taste much like pancakes. The stuff I put on them helped but alone they were pretty bland. - 10/21/08

If they were really dense, you need to add more warm water to the oats when you make them (this thins out the batter a lot!)
The taste of the batter depends on the flavor of protein powder you use.

Love it! I added a tbsp of Splenda brown sugar, some ground flax seed and an extra egg. Can't believe they actually look like pancakes & taste great. I was concerned I would taste the protien powder. Guess the brown sugar and almond extract helped to mask the powder taste. Thanks for posting! - 1/1/11

I work VERY early AM hours, and usually don't have much time in the morning. I can fix these on the weekend and refrigerate/freeze for the week. They will work out nicely. I used 1/4 cup water for a thicker consistency, and Nestle's Cocoa powder (didn't have protein powder). THANKS FitGirl15. - 1/17/10

Just made these for the first time this morning - UNBELIEVABLY satisfying! Followed the recipe and added the almond extract. I'm considering adding a dash of sweetener next time, but topping these off with a thin layer of almond butter and some berries on the side got my day off to a great start! - 1/5/11

Can't say that I was impressed. The batter was very thick - more like cookie dough - and that was after I added a bit more water. Hard to get cooked through I used chocolate protein powder, but that was all I could taste. One scoop of my protein powder is about 3 tbsp so maybe that's too much? - 3/8/21
