[quote=carrottop;1889857796]Here is a great recipe for pancakes that have no flour in them and you would never know just by eating them. I have made this for many people and they never believe they are flour free.
2 eggs
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup vanilla flavored whey protein powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Heat griddle over medium heat and spray with non stick cooking spray.
Mix eggs and ricotta will quite smooth mixture. Whisk in the dry ingredients.
Carrottop...I LOVE YOU! I made this today and it wsa SO good. I've been missing normal tasting (or I should say flourlike tasting) foods and this really did feel like real pancakes. I didnt have the vanilla flavored why so I used chocolate flavored soy protein powder. Came out great. I added a little vanilla flavoring to try to capture the vanilla recommended in your recipe. :-)
This is what I have been eating lately and I really love it although I don't think it is low carb!
2 frozen flax seed waffles
1.5 tbsp natural almond butter
1/2 tsp of roasted carob powder
1 tsp of mini chocolate chips
I toast the waffles and then partially spread the almond butteron one of the waffles. Then I add the carob powder and kind of mix it well with the almond butter. I put the few mini chocolate chips on top to give it the allusion of more chocolate than the carob powder gives! Then I put the other waffle on top to make a nut butter sandwich. It is really good. Eventually I would like to maybe go to one waffle because it is kind of high in points (I am doing ww). But I found out about the DCI in the carob powder and decided to try it. I am sure this is not a medicinal value what I have with this but it does seem to help with sugar cravings all day a lot better than what I was doing (1 tbsp or more of mini chocolate chips).

I usually have an egg (preferably omega-3 and organic) poached because it does not harm the protein in the cooking process as much as scrambling. I eat it over a sprouted grains piece of toast (flourless bread). I have a veggie sausage, mixed veggies cooked up on the frying pan with olive oil and some fresh fruit.
I love it and look forward to eating this every morning. My DH likes it too and does not feel cheated of breakfast. Where I work I have a really late lunch (2pm) and this breakfast holds me over until then with no tummy grumblings or cravings to eat.
I like making homemade muffins for something different. Take your favorite recipe and use whole wheat flour and 1/2 the sugar than the recipe calls for.
I am on weight watchers and within that watch my carbs. The carbs I do eat are complexe - whole grains. In the morning I love the Thomas' Betterstart light multi-grain english muffins. They only have one gram of fat, 8 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein. A smudge of peanut butter, or laughing cow light cheese and I have a 2-3 point breakfast that keeps me full the whole morning and won't spike my sugar.
Hmm.. I feel as if I should have known that. In general, I do try to eat only whole grains. Bye bye instant oats...
I have made a switch to making granola (with rolled oats). It's a lot easier to eat on summer mornings than hot cereal. I bake it with apple sauce and molasses to sweeten it some, but mostly I eat it with fruit which helps sweeten it enough. I mix it with 1.5% plain white yogurt (it has my country's diabetics society seal of approval on it).
I've been trying eat eggs and other things for breakfast, but I just can't seem to go without something sweet in the morning.
We love steal cut oats. (It's what folks use to call porridge). In a large pan, melt 1TBSP butter. Pour in 1 cup of oats and toast them like you would nuts. When they start to smell yummy and get toasty (3-5 min.) pour in 3 cups of water. Let cook on medium, stirring regularly, for 20 min. Add 1 cup of vanilla soy milk and continue to cook, turning heat down just a bit, for 5 minutes. Add a dash of salt, and a TBSP of natural sugar. This is a hearty breakfast that is much better for you than rolled or instant oats. And the taste is great!
Also, try mixing equal parts of ricotta with natural peanut butter. Add a little Truvia or Splenda for sweetness if you like. It is a yummy snack filled with protein!

I do the same breakfast on my work mornings (I work 12 hour days every other day) - a smoothie with raspberries, organic vanilla yogurt, whey protein powder, ground flaxseed, flaxseed oil, bran, lemon juice, a little 2% milk.
On my days off, i shake it up and try different stuff, so am definitely going to try some of the ideas on this thread!
