How much protein do you want to take in? It will mix right in depending on how much liquid is in the batter.
I agree that the protein pancake mixes are way overpriced. I just make my own with a cup of eggwhites so I don't even need to use protein powder most of the time.Last edited by WheyAddict; 01-14-2009 at 07:50 PM.

If they fit your daily caloric intake/macros then they are fine for a cut. I guess it depends what you are limiting your intake to. Protein pancakes are easy as hell to make from scratch. I usually change the recipe around to fit my macros/cals for the day, but all you need to do is grind up a cup of oats in the blender until it is a flour (you can use wheat flour instead if you like the taste), then add a cup of egg whites to that (you can use whole eggs instead if you like), add a tsp of baking soda and a tsp of baking powder, add some cinnamon/pumpkin spice, and you can also add an optional 1/2 cup of cottage cheese if you want (sounds nasty, but you don't taste it). Blend it all up and then pour them into a pan with some pam in it. Really simple.
They don't taste as good as white flour bisquick, but they are pretty good IMO. They were a staple of mine when I was bulking. I would usually have them as a prebed meal with cottage cheese mixed in. It sounds weird, but they taste good. You can also use plain wheat flour instead if you prefer the taste over oats, but I like oats better.Back from my second rotator cuff injury... back to bulkng, trying to gain 8lbs over the next 8 weeks...

You NEED baking powder... its the secret ingredient, lol. Without it your pancakes will be more like crepes (sp?) because they won't rise with the oat flour. I usually use a cup of egg whites, or 2 or 3 whole eggs and then some milk (use enough to make the consistency of the batter how you like it).
Uhhh... off the top of my head I can estimate the cals, but you can look up the macros of every ingredient if you want...
1 cup oats... 300 cals
1 cup egg whites... 100 cals
1/2 cup cottage cheese (FF)... 100 cals
I eat mine with peanut butter on top so you can add another 100 or 200 cals for a tablespoon or two of PB. You can use SF syrup instead, which would be like 50 cals.Back from my second rotator cuff injury... back to bulkng, trying to gain 8lbs over the next 8 weeks...
