I live alone, so I like recipes that create a single serving without leftovers to binge on. This week I experimented with a recipe Kathy left in the comments on my oatmeal visit entry last week.
Single-serving oatmeal pancake
1/2 cup of quick oats
2 teaspoons of Splenda
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 egg
1/4 cup milk or soy milk
Mix together the oats, Splenda and cinnamon in a small microwave-safe bowl.
Then mix in the egg and soymilk.
Microwave the bowl for three and a half minutes.
Lift out pancake onto serving plate and enjoy! Or you can eat it straight out of the bowl. Just a note: I guesstimated the ingredient measurements. I've just been eye-balling the amounts until the mixture looks good. At first I tried it without any milk, but it was too dry, so adjust that measurement depending on how gooey you want the pancake.
If you'd prefer to make this as a muffin, you could probably microwave it in a small mug and scrape out the end result using a spatula. Either way, it's a quick and easy way to eat some carbs and protein in the morning without creating a batch of muffins, which I always end up binging on. Thanks, Kathy!
