If I want to make them with the entire egg how many eggs should be used?

Yeah, I wasn’t sure if it would work, since oat bran doesn’t expand and coagulate nearly as much, but it worked fine! I blended everything thoroughly and the pancakes cooked and held together perfectly.

So you used 1 cup of oat bran and no oats? I wouldn’t think it would soak up as much liquid but I’ll have to give it a try, thanks for the tip!

Want to make it even healthier? Use oat bran! I made them like that this morning and they worked great, and soooo healthy. Oat bran has more fiber than regular oatmeal. I also stirred in some vanilla whey powder into half of the batch and those were delicious as well= perfect bodybuilders pancakes.

How many does this make?

Thanks for the question, I’ve just updated the recipe to include this info. It makes about 15 (3-4 inch) pancakes. Also, there’s an updated version of the pancakes here: http://www.peanutbutterboy.com/2008/04/banana-pancakes-maple-peanut-butter . Enjoy! ~ Nick

Dear Peanut Butter Boy,

Hmm, yes, it's true that some of the nutrients found in egg yolks are controversial. Is cholesterol really bad for us? Is saturated fat really bad for us? Ask different people and you'll get different answers. Walter Willett contends that most of us don't need to worry too much about eating eggs because our bodies are well-equipped to process dietary cholesterol. I really liked his book, Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy. It opened my eyes to a new way of thinking about food and health.

But back to the question at hand: if I had to choose, from a taste perspective, I would also choose peanut butter, so there you go!

Ever try a tofu scramble? Tofu scrambles sidestep the whole issue of eggs and pair well with a nice muffin or toast with peanut butter.

And I empathize with you on the shells! I consider myself a decent baker and yet I STILL find the occasional shell fragment in my muffins! Yuck!

Your website is too cool. I like it!

No! I am not afraid of egg yolks, I simply choose to use egg whites or egg substitute when the difference is not noticeable. Egg whites provide most of the protein of an egg which is the highest quality protein in nature. The yolks do contain vitamins and antioxidants but are very high in cholesterol and contain a considerable amount of fat, 25% of which is saturated.

I prefer to replace the unhealthy fats with a healthier fat such as peanut butter that I spread on top.

There's also the consideration that I can pour from a carton with ease, but I am terrible at cracking eggs. Nothing worse than an unexpected crunch in your pancakes.

Dear Peanut Butter Boy,

Are you afraid of egg yolks? They might contain most of the egg’s fat, but they are also rich in vitamins A, E, D, and K as well as a few antioxidants (thank you, Wikipedia). No need to fear the yolk!
