nice recipe X! this is now my new PWO meal. i made my cake with buckwheat pancake mix though and substituted the whey protein with egg protein powder (i know whey isnt very heat stable, but does the denaturing protein even make any difference?).

im excited to experiment with this too! today im gonna add some cinnamon in there and tomorrow will be FF, unsweetened cocoa. this recipe seems very flexible although the original was delicious. thanks for sharing, karma to you

always though denaturing just broke it down into smaller fractions,absorbs faster

You know, Ive WANTED to make it my PWO meal, but, As goos as it is (and now Im using strawbewrry protein mix :P) I guess after a year or so of having them for breakfast, I just can't bring myself to make them any other time

damn just made these and they are now a staple..thanx X

[Mulletsoldier]

Yeah, denaturing won't do anything to the quality of the whey, just the physical structure.

this sounds like something i could afford being a college student... but uh.. making pancakes is actually a lotttttttt of work. I have to crack an egg and then cook something. damnit.

Are the eggs and milk part of the pancake mix directions? If they are, you could just go with the 'just add water' pancakes. Sounds like a good recipe. thanks.

lol- there the Just add water type mix.
I started adding the egg in the mix to bump cals some.

oh- and I make these every morning, it translates into a scoop from the bag(mix), a scoop from the tub(whey), and grab an egg out of the fridge. -the mix and the whey are side by side, and a 1/2 cup scooper, I just leave in the bag.

Scooping takes like 10 seconds....
If you have the water running on hot while your scooping, mixing only takes about 15 seconds.

If this is too much work for breakfast for $1, then............
well,.. not sure.
But there great for breakfast, and post-W/O, the times when you can have a little pure sugar (if you use syrup)
Sometimes, when I run out of syrup, I just use jelly. And that you can grab (to further savings) at a cafateria, or McDonnalds in some cases..

im not sold on the costco pancake mix? Is it whole wheat, buckwheat, regular flour? Doesnt look as if the costco mix is "healthy" so to speak. Maybe i am missing something.

thanks

Healthy? ...Is pancake mix- it's not buckwheat (although I do mix a box of the flax stuff in with the bag, it only cost's like $2.).

It's definately NOT UNHEALTHY, unless your sold on the idea that you just MUST have something flax, wheat or whatever.
