These taste quite good--and only 8 grams of carbs per pancake!

(A great compliment to a competition diet because they are high in protein and low in carbs!)

    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! ;)

    This was simple and easy to make. But I get thinking pancakes I get a taste for some syrup. So I used some sugar free maple syrup. It was just terrific! - 7/25/09

    I made this for breakfast this morning. I used Chocolate protein powder. They were good, but better when I added almond butter. I usually need a snack around 9:30 but its 10:30 and I'm not hungry yet :) Good recipe!!! - 2/25/10

    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

    Reply from FITGIRL15 (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

    Excellent! After reading the comments, I used cashew milk instead of water, processed the oats into fine meal rather than whole, with excellent results. Next time I won't heat the liquid as it's not necessary with the finer textured grain. I might add 1/2 tsp. baking powder, too. - 7/8/17

    Taste was good, but not great. Not fluffy AT ALL! Any ideas there? I blended in the nutribullet before cooking. Blend more? I'm also thinking of using just enough water to get the oats flufffy, then adding unsweetened almond milk to "richen" up the taste a little. Good base. - 8/8/15

    I tried these because of the nutrient ratios and because it is a small batch. I was quite happy with them. They taste a lot like the protein powder, which I don't really like, but two pancakes and a small piece of fruit kept me feeling full until lunch. - 11/2/14

    The taste was phenomenal, but my batter ended up very watery with a thick lump of oats. I followed the recipe exacIy.

    The key seems to be to let the pan get warmed up nicely first. The first few were tossed out and by then the pan was warmed well enough to cook them like normal pancakes.

    The taste just wasn't there for me though.
