Please read yesterday's post so you see this one in its proper context.
A reader found a recipe from Dr. Dukan. She liked it. It works for her. She shared it with me. I liked that she found a productive solution for herself. And I'm sharing it.
Try the pancakes yourself…if they work, they work. They might help you make a healthier choice for yourself. We must reference the source, even though we don't endorse this guru or food religion. Just like we don't endorse any. We just want you to find ways to eat that help you to feel better.
From First For Women — the 8/8/11 issue. Dr. Pierre Dukan's Belly-Flattening Oat Bran Pancakes.
I LOVE this recipe and I've found that you can put fruit OR veggies into it to make either a sweet pancake or a savory carb-craving-cutting way to make mini-pizza (by baking it of course).
Here's the VERY simple recipe:
In a bowl, beat 1 egg white until foamy.
In a separate bowl, blend 1 1/2 tablespoons oat bran,
1 tablespoon nonfat plain Greek yogurt and EITHER
1 teaspoon zero-calorie sweetener suited for baking (like Stevia) or pepper, herbs and/or chopped garlic (for the savory option).
Combine egg white and oat mixture.
Cook in nonstick pan over medium heat 8 minutes or until golden, turning once.
You can add hot water to make oatmeal or you can bake it into muffins, a mini-pizza or a pancake.
I have also experimented with adding raspberries, blueberries, and bananas. Or topping the savory option with beans, salsa, yogurt and avocado.
