Low Fat Oatmeal Protein Pancakes

I was a little leery of these pancakes because of the ingredients, but they are actually really good! I found this recipe online at www.answerfitness.com.

½ C Egg Whites (about 4 eggs)

½ C Oats

½ C Low-fat Cottage Cheese

1/8 tsp Baking Powder

Fresh fruit as topping

Mix it all together and cook like normal pancake...It's a lumpy texture but for a healthy pancake I thought they were great!

Brea's Delicious Peanut Butter Cookies

I got this recipe from my friend Breanna Brown out here in Pittsburgh. I had tried hers when she made them but wanted to see if I could do it because cookies are not my thing, they always end up flat or burnt. But these were way simple and they were delish!

¾ C Peanut Butter

½ C Shortening

1 ½ C Packed Brown Sugar

3 T Milk

1 ½ T Vanilla

1 Beaten Egg

1 ¾ C Flour

¼ tsp Salt (rounded)

¾ tsp Baking Soda

Cream first 5 ingredients. Add beaten egg.

In seperate bowl, combine flour, salt and soda.

Mix both bowls together.

(I like to add Mini Reese's Pieces in to the mixture)

Make the criss-cross shape on top the cookie.

Bake on non-greased cookie sheet for 7-8 minutes @ 375 degrees.

Oatmeal Pancakes

I have been trying to eat a little more healthy but I wanted a pancake and this was a recipe that I found on the web. It called for oat flour but I didn't have any so I used white flour. The second time I made these I used whole wheat flour, both were good. I also put chopped almonds and dried fruit in them.

3/4 cup Oatmeal
3/4 cup Flour
1 cup Milk
2 Eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
