Method:

1. Preheat a waffle iron. Combine the wheat germ, soy powder, whey protein powder, salt, Splenda, and sesame seeds in a large bowl.

2. Separate the eggs, reserving the yolks. Whip the whites until they're stiff, and set aside.

3. Whisk the cream, water, and oil together with the egg yolks, and pour them into the dry ingredients. Mix well, and gently fold in the egg whites.

4. Use a cup to pour the batter onto your waffle iron, and bake until they're golden brown and crispy. Serve with butter and sugar-free syrup, sugar-free jam or jelly, cinnamon and Splenda, or-my favorite-thawed, frozen strawberries and whipped cream.

Healthy Desserts Recipes - Special Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients              

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1/3 cup low-carb bake mix

• 1/3 cup rice protein powder

• 1/4 cup Splenda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 4 eggs

• 1 cup half-and-half

• 2 teaspoons canola or other vegetable oil

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Serves 2-4

---

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. It is essential that the oven be up to temperature before putting your Dutch Baby in, so don't combine the wet and dry ingredients until the oven is ready.

2. Spray a large, cast-iron skillet or a 10-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray, and melt the butter in the bottom. Set aside.

3. In a bowl, combine the bake mix, protein powder, Splenda, salt, and cinnamon.

4. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, half-and-half, canola oil, and vanilla extract, and whisk it vigorously for a couple of minutes. (Beating air into it will make the Dutch Baby puff more.)

5. Beat in the dry ingredients just until well-mixed, and pour the batter into the prepared pan.

6. Bake for 20 minutes; reduce the temperature to 350°F, and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes.
