Oat Bran Pancakes
I was really craving pancakes this morning (sunday morning is just meant for pancakes) but it was not my free day so I found this AWESOME recipe for oat bran pancakes with NO FAT in them! I was amazed, no fat at all and they turned out amazing and really filling also. I am not sure exactly how many calories they would be... but no fat and high fiber is always a good thing 
. My dad and my bf (who never eats anything healthy in his life) really liked them too... of course I had the 2 smallest ones out of the batch and they had like 4 regular ones with butter and syrup all over them lol but they said that it is definitely a keeper recipe.
Oat Bran Pancakes
1 c. skim milk
1/3 c. oats (quick oatmeal)
1/3 c. oat bran
2/3 c. flour (whole wheat or regular... I used WW)
2 tbsp. dark brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
Pinch of salt
2 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup blueberries (optional)
Combine milk, oatmeal and oat bran in medium bowl and let stand 10 minutes. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt in large bowl. Stir in milk mixture, egg whites and vanilla. Use 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook in hot griddle or skillet, turning once.
-note: the batter is going to look thin, but once you start cooking it will rise
So anyways, I wasn't able to eat all of my 6 meals today, I only got in four, but they were all a little higher in calories then I would usually have.
M1 (350?): 2 bran pancakes and 1 egg. M2 (280): black bean soup w/ lowfat cheese. M3 (350?): whole wheat tortilla, whole black beans, 4 prawns, and salso. M4 (220): 1 cup Special K and yogurt
Total: about 1200 calories
Work Out: lower body, about a 3 mile walk, and 20 minutes stairmaster (easy intensity)

yumm-o
Those pancakes sound really yummy! I will definitely have to try those one weekend - I already have all the ingreds other than the wheat bran. Maybe wheat germ makes an ok substitute though...
Thx for your comment too.
