TVP "Oatmeal"

2 C TVP granules
1 quart unsweetened soy milk (can use coconut milk or other milk)
1 T cinnamon
1 t nutmeg
1 1/2 T vanilla
Or adjust the above seasonings to your taste
Sweetener to taste
Optional: Whisk in eggs. 4 eggs makes it more like rice pudding.

Preparation:
Mix all ingredients in crockpot, large saucepan/Dutch oven, or large covered casserole dish (be careful about this - when I tested it in the oven, it overflowed).

Crockpot/Slow Cooker: It will be cooked in about 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low, but you can let it go longer and it won't hurt it.
Oven: About 1 hour at 350 F.
Stovetop: Bring to boil, then simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally - you should know by looking when it's done.

Low carb pancakes

2 eggs or equivalent
3 TBSP ground flax meal
.5 tsp cinnamon (optional)
2 TBSP water (omit if using liquid sweetener or high water fruit in mix)
.5 tsp stevia plus or other sweetener
1 TBSP vanilla whey protein (optional)
cinnamon (optional)
1 cup fruit, shredded or mashed

The recipe is for one serving usually 5 - 6 pancakes.
Preheat frying pan or griddle. Coat with nonstick spray when cooking the pancakes.
In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flax meal, stevia plus, cinnamon (if used), whey protein (if used). Add eggs or substitute and mix. Add water unless using high water fruit like blueberries. If using shredded apples, for example, you can add water. If using mashed blueberries, don't add water. Mix all ingredients. Let sit for a few minutes.
When ready to cook the pancakes, scoop in an ice cream scooper or 1/4-1/2 cup and cook until you can turn them over without them breaking...it may take some practice. Cook for a couple of minutes longer and remove from heat.
