Mexican Pancakes - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 8 oz sliced black olives
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 large finely chopped onion
- 0.12 cup green chili peppers
- 3 tsps baking powder
- 1/4 cup sweetener
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup white flour
- 1 cup fat free milk
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together. Eyeball the amount of ff milk to add (can use water as well) to come up with a nice thick pancake like batter.
- Heat electric skillet (or cast iron skillet) to a nice hot temperature. Pour a bit of olive oil in skillet to keep pancakes from sticking. Not much is needed.
- Pour batter and let 'bake' about 10 minutes per side, keeping lid on skillet.
- Top with either shredded cheese or sour cream.
- Homemade chili would make a nice addition as well.
- Note: I substituted xylitol (which has less calories) for the sweetener.
