My recipe for high fiber, high protein pancakes

2 tablespoons each of the following:
milled flax seed
oat bran
Fiber One high fiber pancake mix
vanilla flavored whey protein (from big canister Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein - from Walmart - or any kind of whey protein)

Mix these dry ingredients with half a teaspoon or so of baking powder.
Add a pkg of Splenda if you wish.

Add one egg and enough milk or water to make good consistency.

Cook on oiled griddle or frying pan. I use medium heat to keep it from burning

Eat this plain with Smart Balance or with No Sugar Smuckers syrup.

If I eat this mid-morning I don't get hungry for a long time. Drink extra water after this meal. It has a lot of fiber.

Maybe divide the pancake to eat some later.

The milled flax seed has a lot of benefits - Omega 3 oils that help lower cholesterol and blood pressure. And of course the oat bran is great for lowering cholesterol. I use the Omega-3 eggs from Walmart most of the time. They are said not to raise cholesterol because the chickens eat flax seed.
