HEALTHY WHOLE WHEAT BRAN, FLAX, WHEY PANCAKES WITH YOGURT CHEESE
I've adapted a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook recipe to have whole wheat, flax, bran, and whey for extra protein, as well as some spices. I add blueberries (or strawberries, or whatever else is handy) and yogurt cheese on top for some extra YUM. These probably sound pretty dull and possibly health-food-weirdo strange, but they are delicious and feel like a very indulgent treat rather than health food! I quadruple the recipe and freeze what we don't eat. They reheat great. NOTE: These make a thin, nearly crepe-like pancake. If you like a thicker pancake, use less liquid.

Steps:
- Put cereal in a small bowl with enough whey to cover it. Let it soak while you put together the rest of the ingredients.
- Put the remainder of the whey, along with all the other ingredients, in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the moistened All Bran (it should be very mushy) and mix again.
- Drop by 1/3 cupfuls on a hot skillet or griddle. Flip when the top gets bubbled and cook until golden.
- Top with a generous helping of yogurt cheese, which adds protein and seems like cream cheese or cream, without the fat. Add your strawberries or blueberries and some maple syrup!
HEALTHY WHEAT BRAN & FLAX MEAL MUFFINS
This is a new recipe I just tried and I like it but I like wholesome muffins! It's really simple and bakes quickly. The wheat bran can be substituted with any highfiber bran cereal (as long as you grind it up in a food processor!)

WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES WITH FLAX SEED
I make these 2 times a week for my family. Mostly for dinner believe it or not. My girls love this recipe. The flax seed is whole which makes it easier to eat. They kids don't even taste it or feel it when eaten but they do get the health benefits. Started out just for breakfast but now we eat these 2 times a week to cut down on meat cost. Very budget friendly.
