Secret Ingredient - Part 2

Low Carb Pancakes - These are fantastic.  They have a almond taste, they are really good.  I prefer these to real pancakes because I don't feel bloated and useless after having them.

In a blender combine:
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/4 c melted butter (I use Fleischmann's w/ olive oil)
1 whole egg
3 egg whites

In a bowl, combine:
1 Tbsp baking powder
3/4 cup almond flower
1 Tbsp Splenda
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Salt
Blender mixture

Cook 1/4 cup of batter on a hot griddle until the center starts to bubble, then flip.  Serve with low carb syrup (sugar free).  Yum!

Banana Nut Muffins

Preheat oven to 400F.  Fit 12 muffin cups with liners and coat each liner with cooking spray.
Mix together:
1 1/2 cup flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
1/2 cup brown sugar splenda
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Stir in:
2 mashed ripe bananas
3/4 cup milk (I use almond milk)
5 Tbsp melted butter
1 whole egg

Fill muffin cups with batter and sprinkle with cinnamon and splenda.
Bake 20-22 min and cool for 1 min.  Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

Stove Top Oatmeal - Dan's favorite Breakfast
In a pot, bring to a boil the following:
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup milk (I use Almond milk)
1 tsp cinnamon.

Once boiling add 1/2 cup old fashioned oats and lower heat to med-low.

Once oats are cooked to your liking (3-5 min) take off heat and add 1/4 cup of walnuts or pecans, 2 Tbsp sugar free syrup, and raisins (optional).
Mix in one scoop of vanilla protein (if you choose not to add protein, only add 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 of milk).
You can also cut up an apple instead of the raisens.  I don't like the texture of apple in the morning. 
Dan likes to add a little splenda or brown sugar splenda for added sweetness.

This and the Mixed Nuts cookies are recipies from Dr. John Berardi. 
Mixed Nuts Cookies - These are my favorite.  Even Dan's siblings liked them for Halloween instead of candy!
Preheat oven to 375F.
In a mixing bowl, combine:
3tsp butter (with olive oil)
1 egg
1 Tbsp cinnamon

Add in 2/3 cup crushed pecans, 2/3 cup crushed almonds (I prefer hazelnuts), 2/3 cup crushed walnuts. Add 3 scoops of chocolate or vanilla protein powder.  I prefer chocolate caramel Muscle Milk.

On a baking sheet, scoop out 6 equal portions of the batter.
Bake for 6 min or until you see the butter bubbling from the cookies.
Serve warm or store in the fridge.  I prefer these cookies warm myself.

Enjoy!  Feel free to add your favorite Cinnamon recipe!
