Family Size Oat Fiber Pancake Recipe!

After and overwhelming response to my oat fiber pancake recipe, I HAD to come up with a family size version. 

These recipes make up to 15 pancakes (5 servings each) depending on the thickness of your batter and how big you make them!

The protein powder is optional!  You could make the S pancakes and eat them with bacon, sausage, or chicken fried with oat fiber instead of flour for extra protein. (I personally LOVE sausage and pancakes!) 

For my homemade sugar free maple pancake syrup please click on this link Single Serving Oat Fiber Pancakes and Maple Syrup recipe and scroll down to the bottom!

So here it is!

Family Size Oat Fiber Pancake Recipe - S, E, and FP

S Version

1 cup THM Oat Fiber

 2 scoops of THM Protein Powder (optional)

1/4 - 1/2 c THM Gentle Sweet (1/8 - 1/4c THM Sweet Blend) (sweeten to your taste)

½ teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon coconut oil or butter

1 cup cream

4 eggs

1- 2 tsp maple extract (optional)

Mix your dry ingredients first. Then add melted butter, egg, maple extract and 1/4c cream. Mix thoroughly. You want a slightly thicker batter than pancake but not too thick. If it's too thick add more cream a little at a time until it's the consistency of thick pancake batter. Put some oil in the pan and cook like regular pancakes.
You can top these with my easy homemade maple pancake syrup or just some on plan S fruit (berries). I plan on eating these next time with some sausage! I love sausage with pancakes!


E or FP version


1 cup THM Oat Fiber

 2 scoops of THM Protein Powder (optional)

1/4 - 1/2 c THM Gentle Sweet (1/8 - 1/4c THM Sweet Blend) (sweeten to your taste)

½ teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon coconut oil or butter

1 cup unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk or flax milk


4 eggs


1-2  tsp maple extract (optional)

*  to make the E or FP recipe nut free you can use unsweetened Flax milk as long as there aren't any off plan ingredients listed*

Mix your dry ingredients first. Then add melted butter or coconut oil, egg, maple extract and 1/8c almond milk. Mix thoroughly. You want a slightly thicker batter than pancake but not too thick. If it's too thick add more almond milk a little at a time until it's the consistency of thick pancake batter. Spray some olive oil spray (fat free) in a non stick skillet and cook like regular pancakes.
You can top these with my homemade maple pancake syrup or just some on plan E fruit for an E or berries for a FP!

Oat Fiber Pancakes! S, E, or FP!

I have been in search of some THM on plan pancakes that actually taste like pancakes! 

For me, the other pancakes, while good, were not what I was looking for.  I also wanted to find a recipe that could be tweaked for any of the meal types.  (if you don't have any idea what I'm talking about go to Trim Healthy Mama to find out!)

I have discovered that recipe!  After working some different recipes out, I came up with this recipe that actually tastes like regular pancakes.  They are a little more dense than regular pancakes, but I've found if you make the batter a little thicker than pancake batter they are fluffier.
These pancakes are made with oat FIBER, which is not the same as oat flour.  Oat flour used in the S version of this recipe would make it a crossover.


I have also included the recipe for my Sugar Free Maple Syrup at the bottom!  It is so good with the pancakes and can be eaten in any setting!  The protein powder is optional but it gives you extra protein, which is imperative with THM.  **If you find that the texture is not what you prefer try them without the protein powder.  Sometimes it can change the texture of these pancakes.  I've done it both ways and I enjoy them, but I understand not everyone will.**

These recipes are for a singe serving of THREE pancakes! (depending on how thick you make the batter)  As you can see in my picture (I'm not responsible for any drooling that may occur) they are good sized pancakes as well! 






























Oat Fiber Pancakes S, E, or FP


S version

1/4 c THM Oat Fiber
1/4c THM Protein Powder
2T THM Gentle Sweet (or 1T of THM Sweet Blend/Truvia)
1/2tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1tsp butter (or coconut oil)
1/4 - 1/2c of cream (I used heavy whipping cream or you can use unsweetened Almond, Coconut [dairy free] or Flax milk [nut free])

 1 egg
1/2 -1 tsp maple extract (optional)

Mix your dry ingredients first. Then add melted butter, egg, maple extract and 1/4c cream. Mix thoroughly. You want a slightly thicker batter than pancake but not too thick. If it's too thick add more cream a little at a time until it's the consistency of pancake batter. Put some oil in the pan and cook like regular pancakes.
You can top these with my easy homemade maple pancake syrup or just some on plan S fruit (berries). I plan on eating these next time with some sausage! I love sausage with pancakes!

E or FP version

1/4 c THM Oat Fiber
1/4c THM Protein Powder
2T THM Gentle Sweet (or 1T of THM Sweet Blend/Truvia)
1/2tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1tsp butter (or coconut oil)
 1/8c or more of unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk (or unsweetened flax milk if you are nut free )
1 egg white
1/2 -1 tsp maple extract (optional)


Mix your dry ingredients first. Then add melted butter or coconut oil, egg, maple extract and 1/8c almond milk. Mix thoroughly. You want a slightly thicker batter than pancake but not too thick. If it's too thick add more almond milk a little at a time until it's the consistency of pancake batter. Spray some olive oil spray (fat free) in a non stick skillet and cook like regular pancakes.
You can top these with my homemade maple pancake syrup or just some on plan E fruit for an E or berries for a FP! 

Homemade Maple Pancake Syrup - S, E, or FP

1 c water
2 heaping T of THM Gentle Sweet (or 1 of THM Sweet Blend/Truvia)
1/2 -1 tsp glucomannan (sprinkled it while whisking)
1 tsp maple extract

Mix water and Gentle Sweet (or other approved sweetener) and let come to a boil. After the solution starts to boil slightly sprinkle the glucomannan whisking the whole time to mix well.  Let this come to a boil for 1 minute and then turn off burner.  Place the syrup off the burner and add in the 1 tsp of maple extract.  This should thicken as it cools.  This was really good on my pancakes!

Coming back to Trim Healthy Mama!

Good morning!  After having my fried eggs in butter, bacon, and coffee with cream and gentle sweet, I thought doing our school work outside would be a nice way to start the day. 

A few months ago, I had a procedure for some pelvic issues I was having.  This meant that I was unable to do much of anything for at least three months!  It was major surgery. While healing, I found myself eating whatever I could stomach.  So when I finally got to a state of recovery, I was not on plan as much as I should have been.  It has taken me a while to get back to where I do not crave things as I did.  However, I am back on plan and trying hard to stay that way!

I am in the process of trying to make a menu for our week to help me with trying new ideas that so many have come up with!  I love the recipes from A Home With Purpose!  They look amazing!  You can go check out her site here : A Home With Purpose


I have also signed up to become a Trim Healthy Mama Affiliate!  This means that if you click on this link, https://store.trimhealthymama.com/#_l_pv , and purchase any of their products, it helps me too!

So if you are on the fence, please go look at some of my previous posts about my weight loss!  This is such an easy plan when you really give it your all!  It isn't like other plans where you feel deprived, unless you have someone who constantly points out what you can't have!  :)  It's one of those plans where there are so many options!

So join the THM family today!
