    I made this a couple of times now. I use 1 1/2 tbs of applesauce instead of the oil and just the egg whites. Sometimes I add some blueberries. It is so moist and filling. One of my favorites! - 4/11/08

    Yummy! Try a sugar-fre syrup (Davinci or Torino) instead of the spenda. Makes it nice and moist. I'm mixing up a week's worth of the dry ingredients so I can just scoop it every day :) - 8/19/07

    This is a brilliant recipe that is amazingly flexible. It might be a Laura Olson invention, but it's been around a while on the low carb boards. See my recipe submissions for variations on this, including molten chocolate, blueberry, etc. - 3/14/10

    I like it like this, I also tried it with cocoa instead of cinnamon, very good..also took out the sweetener and cinnamon and added salt and a little half and half fried it in a 10" nonstick pan, then used it like bread for an egg sandwich. umh good

    I use sour cream instead of butter or olive oil, and use either sugar free coffee flavors or flavored stevia. It may take more than a minute but is great...also make in a cereal bowl, slice and use syrup for pancakes ;-) - 10/22/12

    An awesome recipe that can be manipulated in so many ways! Can be as healthy - or unhealthy - as you please! Either way, it is a great source of fiber and protein. Instead of olive oil, I use 1.5 T unsweetened applesauce for a more muffin-like texture, and 1 T applesauce for bread-like texture. - 5/17/12

    This is a great go-to recipe that I've used over the years, and there are so many ways to enjoy it. I omit the olive oil and sweetner and use 1 egg white. It is absolutely delicious with blueberries or topped off with strawberries and a banana. Yum! - 4/2/12

    I Loved the idea - while trying to omit aspertain from my diet I omitted the sugar / sugar substitute and the cinnamon & went savory. I added rosemary, salt, white pepper, dry mustard, and grated parmesian cheese. nuking on a large plate enables it to be used as a wrap for a sandwich. - 1/23/12

    Wow, this made a fantastic pancake. I forgot the cinnamon and used 1 tsp of SF maple syrup in the batter. I let the batter rest for a couple of minutes and it made one very large pancake. Topped it with more maple syrup. This is so easy and so good!!! - 3/8/10

    I never add oil, but I do add 2 Tbs yogurt, 2 Tbs almond butter, a sprinkle of hemp and chia seeds, and usually cocoa powder instead of ground cinnamon. It's delicious, and filling! I eat half for breakfast one morning, and save the other half to microwave for 1:30 to 2:00 and eat the next morning. - 11/28/20

    This tastes fine and works well for a fast and healthy breakfast. I just used a teaspoon of sugar since I don't usually have artificial sweetener in the house. I may do what some other users have suggested and try adding some raisins or craisins next time. - 1/1/19

    Great!! I added the cocoa to make it chocolate and used egg beaters as I'm trying to get the cholesterol down. Also I used Haines no sodium baking powder as that is what I had, - 4/2/11

    Fits my morning needs perfectly; quick, easy, tasty and if I don't have family sponging tastes off of me it fills me perfectly. I added extra Splenda (cuz I love sweet), but, I may try the applesauce for a more moist texture. - 3/24/11

    Second time around trying this recipe I added just a little cloves and no olive oil. ... My microwave took a minute and 45 seconds to get it right and I cooked them in a silicone muffin pan. Exceptional. - 11/4/09

    Sounds interesting- And that fiber is great. I wonder what would happen if you made it in toaster oven on a tray. Would you have a cookie? Hmm - 8/16/09

    Found this yesterday, tried it this morning. OMG Yummy!! Like a buckwheat pancake. A little sugar free maple syrup and we're off! I have a ton of ideas for "spicing" this one up. Anyone thought of making slices and toasting???

    Maybe cuz I'm just starting on the low carb lifestyle, it wasn't all that tasty, but I think with some suggestions that others made it will be better (at least for me) :-) - 9/11/08

    I added raisins once, and that was really good. Another day I added 1 tablespoon cinnamon flavored sugar free syrup.. yum. I'd like to try to stop the microwave at 1/2 the baking time and sprinkle on something crunchy like granola - but without adding carbs. I'm thinking...... - 1/3/08
