Tell Me You Can Feel It…

….THE HEAT IS ON!!!

We wait till July for air conditioning and December for heat. I think Nov. 29 is long enough of a wait considering it’s 41* out there this morning. I didn’t want to feel freezing when I got out of bed.

We have egg whites to use up, so I put oatmeal pancakes back on the radar.

IMG_9998 (640x427)

I filled two ramekins with 1/3 cup each of oats and egg whites and let them sit for about 5 minutes. I got impatient, but these would have been a little better had they soaked for a few minutes longer.

IMG_9982 (640x427) 

Because they were so liquidy they made a lake in my skillet!

IMG_9984 (640x427)

However, egg whites firm up so beautifully (why I use whites and not yolks) that the pancakes still turned out awesome and easy to flip!

IMG_9985 (640x427)

Pancake #2 looked like Montana!

 

IMG_9986 (640x427)

I also added a few butterscotch chips and chia seeds to the batters. I topped mine with half a giant apple (microwaved for softness), some toasted coconut, and a tbsp of drizzled Barney Butter.

IMG_9991 (640x427)

I had tea in my new Davidson mug!

IMG_9993 (640x427)

I’m still feeling hungry!! Hopefully this will digest and coat my stomach with whatever makes the lining feel satisfied.

IMG_9988 (640x427)

Last night I got really hungry around 9:00 – my stomach was growling! Probably because I didn’t have an afternoon snack.

I had about 1/4 of this Chocolate Cherry Bear Naked granola bar….but I’m not the biggest cherry person, so I saved the rest..

IMG_9975 (640x427)

And had a persimmon instead. I’ve decided that I like the first layer of the fruit, but when I get to the core it starts to make me gag. I used to hate all tropical fruits like mango and papaya and even melons (they taste "thick" to me?!), so I think it’s just acquiring the taste. This one was a lot riper than my last one, and that definitely helped.

    I totally get what you mean about tropical fruits tasting “thick.” I’m not a big fan either – I like mango, but hate melon/ papaya. Have been thinking about trying persimmon, but maybe I’ll pass.

    You both are so good about the AC/Heat. I’m a sissy when it comes to being too cold/to hot.

    Having a baby has definitely changed the temperature we keep the house 😉

      I’m not sure that flax would work because the egg is the liquid in this recipe.

    I had an oatmeal pancake yesterday for breakfast and it was divine. Didn’t know they came out better if you let the oats and egg whites soak together for a bit though, I’ll have to try that next time. I think mine only filled me because I topped it with yogurt, banana and a bit of pb. Pancakes without the extra bulk toppings just do NOT do it for me. Well, the bulk plus plenty of coffee of course :)They sure are good though.

    I’ve never tried a persimmon… I’m thinking next grocery haul!

    I like to blend the whites and oatmeal in the blender to make my batter. It makes it more like actual pancake batter. I think anyway…
    I don’t like the innards of fruit either. Good to know I’m not alone 🙂

    If you blend the ingredients for the oatmeal pancakes in a food processor/blender, you don’t have to let it soak and they cook more evenly. I also like that the texture is more like normal pancakes.

    Those geography inspired pancakes look out of this world. Those topping you used are insane (toasted coconut, holla!)

    I agree with you regarding persimmons. They’re delicious when combined in cookie dough (my mom makes the best persimmon “health” cookies), however, when eaten raw, they do weird things to my tongue and make me gag.

      They were bigger than they looked – and ended up holding me over for 6 hours. I’m just not used to that kind of fullness post-breakfast (or lack there of). But hunger-wise, it was fine.

    When I make oat pancakes I usually put them in the blender first. Makes the batter more pancake-like. 🙂

    I’ve never had a persimmon, but it looks like a yellow/orange tomato to me. I’ll have to try it, next time I see it in the store. Love your new mug, I need some cute new mugs.They make me happy. I hope you get everything on your list done! Have a wonderful Sunday. 🙂

    Love your blog! I’ve been reading your blog for a while and now eat oatmeal every morning. Even the husband has too.
    I was just wondering if you ever tried microwaving your oatmeal with a little milk/water to half cook and then combining it with egg white after that (after it cools). It has the same texture as when you blend it as others suggested.

    and i was wondering where i can find pumpkin butter… looks amazing!

    I know you don’t use egg beaters because you don’t like onion powder…but could I use it for those pancakes? I want to make a light dinner and thos would be perfect.

    I love grocery shopping by foot. I started doing it when I started getting healthy and love to do it now still when I only have a few things to buy and can carry them. I use my backpack.

    Mmmm! Those pancakes look so good! I was craving waffles this morning but had a complete fail when I subbed a “flax egg” for our usual eggs/egg whites. It was still good, but not very fluffy.

    I’ve been wanting to try Barney Butter for a while now but was wondering if it tastes all that much different than regular almond butter. Does it?
