Muscle Chow book

Sneaking some protein powder into these pancakes helps make them Muscle Chow-worthy. Unlike traditional pancakes (which are all carbohydrates), these help you feel full while nourishing your muscles. The recipes are simple-all you need for each are two bowls (one for the dry ingredients, one for the wet) and a hot nonstick skillet or griddle, then you're ready to build a stack. Serve your cakes with sugar-free maple syrup, all-natural maple syrup, apple butter, or just chow them plain.

Ingredients

1 cup Quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup Whole grain pastry flour
2 tbs Chopped walnuts
1 1/2 teaspoons Hain Pure Foods Featherweight Baking Powder
1 tsp Ground cinnamon
1 Scoop vanilla whey protein powder
3 Egg whites
1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup Fat-free ricotta cheese
3/4 cup Soy milk

Preparation

Step 1: Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray, then wipe away the excess with a paper towel and set aside the towel. Use this towel to wipe the skillet between pancakes, recoating the skillet with the oil and cleaning away any pancake batter crumbs. Preheat the skillet to medium-low, then reduce the heat to low.

Step 2: Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Then add the wet ingredients and mix.

Step 3: Spoon about 1/2 cup of the batter into the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until firm and golden brown. Flip the pancakes and finish cooking for 30 seconds to 1 minutes longer, or until golden brown. Remove the pancake to a plate. Wipe the skillet with the paper towel.

Step 4: Repeat STEP 3 with the remaining batter to make a total of 8 pancakes.
