French Toast Pancakes



This recipe combines my favorite two breakfast foods into one- pancakes that really do taste like French toast- who doesn’t love that? Plus, they are so healthy and easy to make!


French Toast Pancakes
*I adapted this recipe from one used on the Biggest Loser to meet the 21-Day Fix parameters.
Makes 10-12 pancakes
Serving Size: 3-4 pancakes
21-Day Fix Portion (per serving): 1½ red, 1 yellow

Ingredients
·         1 cup egg whites
·         1 cup fat free cottage cheese
·         1 cup whole grain oats
·         1 tbsp cinnamon
·         1 tsp raw sugar or stevia
·         1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions
1.      Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth (about 30 seconds)
2.      Pour onto a lightly greased griddle or griddle pan (I use a very small amount of real, unsalted butter)
3.      Cook until lightly brown on both sides
4.      Drizzle with 1 tsp of 100% pure maple syrup

  3. is it really 1 Tbsp cinnamon? Mine looked much darker than yours and were a little overly cinnamony.. just wondered if it should be 1 tsp?

    1. I usually just eyeball the cinnamon, so you can adjust it to how much you prefer personally. My daughter doesn't like syrup with her pancakes, so I usually add extra cinnamon to give it some added flavor :)

  10. What about the syrup? Is that allowed? Or does it substitute for one of the color cups?

    1. 21 day fix allows you to have 2 tsp of a clean sweetener each day (like sugar in the raw, stevia, honey, or 100% pure maple syrup). There's technically not a color container portion to check off for that, so you just need to make sure you keep your sugar intake within that daily parameter. Hope that helps!

    1. I would guess yes but I've never personally tried. I have refrigerated and reheated them successfully though :)

  15. Just made these this morning. My husband who knows what he likes and doesn't normally stray much loved these. I just poured the batter to the size we normally make our pancakes and got about 8. I ate 2 as my 21df portion. Thank you!

    1. Cottage cheese and egg whites are counted as red. I think I did my math correct :)... I know they have adjusted the portions of egg whites since the original release of the eating plan, so let me know if the count needs to be revised (I only have the original version that didn't include egg whites, so I followed the substitution equivalents)
