Linda's Diet Delites High Protein Low Carb Pancakes
[highly perishable]

Let me be clear. I LOVE these pancakes. I am ordering 7 packs today, so that I can enjoy 7 decadent weekend breakfasts that totally feel like cheating.

So why only four stars? Because I could imagine something better. Not much, but better. The taste on these is awesome. The texture is the issue. These pancakes (normal size, normal thickness) are just sort of...airy. Fluffy, but in an insubstantial way, not a good way. Sometimes they tear just when you try to take them out of the package or put butter on them. When you dip these into your "syrup," they begin to dissolve before you can lift the fork. They just don't have much presence in your mouth, even though they taste really good. I find that they are nowhere near as filling as my usual bacon-and-eggs breakfast (duh) but also they're not as filling as a normal high-carb pancake breakfast, even with a side of bacon.

Still--PANCAKES. Tasty pancakes. I drown them in butter, and use some combination of Da Vinci and Torani sugar-free syrups to sweeten. Experiment with the flavors; I like half Torani Belgian Cookie (tastes like cookie butter) with half Da Vinci Blueberry added for "blueberry" pancakes. A dash of White Chocolate adds richness. Praline and Coconut are good mixed, too. The options are almost endless, and the pancakes make a perfect neutral backdrop for them.
