Cream of Wheat Cakes

by Heather on January 27, 2010

I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday; then I realized it was only Wednesday – Cream of Wheat Wednesday.

Time is on my side this morning as I have a doctors appointment at 10:30 am – although it is a half an hour away.  I tried to wake up at 6 am like I have been the past few days, but instead I slept until 6:45 am.  I did the Core Fusion workout DVDs again – this time the Upper Body and Thigh segments.  Lets just say my thighs were still shaking while I was in the shower. 

In honor of Cream of Wheat Wednesday, I decided to shake things up again and make pancakes based off this recipe.  I changed it up and this is what I used:

  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 packet of Sponge Bob Square pants Chocolate Cream of Wheat
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 tablespoons apple sauce

A healthier version of the ingredients on the website. 

One one of my pancakes I topped with soy nut butter, the other, some defrosted frozen berries warmed in the microwave for a few seconds.

IMG_5506 I loved this breakfast.  Sadly, the chocolate wasn’t too strong but the soynut butter and berry combo was great.  The pancakes were light and the perfect size for breakfast. 

Fortunately I have no meetings today so I am hoping to make a dent in my to-do list; tomorrow is jam packed full of meetings and Friday I am out of the office so today is really my only chance at productivity…

The Core Fusion workout sounds like a pretty good workout. I enjoy a good workout video to change things up once and a while.
Love your breakfast idea! Too cute!

I’ve been wanting to find soynut butter — I researched it yesterday along with the nut butters I posted about. I assume Whole Foods has it, so I’ll check next time I go!

I love the idea of a pancake-wich — too cute!

Sponge Bob Square Pants?! They make Cream of Wheat?!
I used to eat cream of wheat allllll the time when I was a kid. Now I just stick to oats, but hey, I love it! I used to add so much brown sugar and butter to it back then, mmm, so good.
