Guilt-Free Pancakes

Written by CAWLM. Posted in Recipe of the Month

HEALTHY PANCAKES

Egg Beaters
Dry oats
Cottage cheese
Vanilla and/or cinnamon to taste

Blend equal parts Egg Beater, oats and cottage cheese along with a sprinkle of vanilla or cinnamon until a smooth batter is formed. Ladle batter onto skillet over low to medium-low heat to make pancakes, making sure they are not too thick.

BERRY REDUCTION

1 1/2 cups blueberries
1 1/2 cups blackberries
1 tsp – 3 tbsp sugar
Water

Fill bottom of medium saucepan with enough water to just cover the surface. Add berries and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fruit reduces to desired thickness (about 15 minutes). Pour over pancakes while still warm.

Tip: Adding fruit like mashed banana to the batter and topping with yogurt turns these into a kid-(and adult)-friendly snack.

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Number of servings: Four
INGREDIENTS
1/4 C. butter or margarine
1/4 C. flour
2 C . warm milk
Dash of pepper
1/2 tsp. hot-pepper sauce (to taste)
1/2 C. heavy cream

8 oz. (2 C.) macaroni elbows or double elbows, cooked and drained

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Melt butter in heavy saucepan over low heat. Add flour; stir with wooden spoon or spatula three minutes or until the roux is frothier and raw-flour taste is gone. Gradually stir warm milk into roux. Turn up heat; stir until sauce is just at boiling point. Turn down heat; let simmer few minutes. Add pepper and hot-pepper sauce (don’t use pepper sauce too sparingly; it will help bring out the cheese taste). Stir in heavy cream; simmer briefly or until flavors are blended. Stir three quarters of the cheese into simmering sauce until melted; combine cheese sauce with macaroni; pour into greased two-quart dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 30 minutes or until bubbly and light golden.
