Tasty Tuesday: High Protein Swedish Pancakes
There are a lot of things I love about my husband. His tender heart. His humor. His devotion to me and our kids. His creativity. His work ethic. His sexy blue eyes. His smile. I could go on and on but before you gag I’ll say, “Swedish Pancakes”. Yes, there is one more thing I love about my husband. His Swedish Pancakes. (And his willingness to put up with my demanding personality requests.)
We had these Saturday and Sunday for breakfast. While,they were delicious both days, Saturday’s were a little more calorie dense and carb heavy than I like so Sunday he made some adjustments. Here is his slightly lighter version and for the record he is a 1/4 Swede. 
Brent’s Creme Filled High Protein Swedish Pancakes
Pancakes
2 cups of milk (we use whole)
4 egg whites
2 whole eggs
1/2 cup of flour (we use wheat)
2 tbs melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
Filling
4 0z of cream cheese
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
2 tbs raw honey
Topping
2 cups of fresh strawberries
1. Mix all the pancake stuff together until smooth.
2. Melt a little butter in skillet over medium heat.
Pour about a 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet.
We are using less flour than normal so the pancakes will be a little fragile.
Cook thoroughly before flipping to prevent them from tearing.
3. In a blender or food processor combine the filling ingredients and blend until smooth.
4. Spread the filling inside the cooked pancakes and roll it up.
5. Top with your favorite toppings. We used fresh strawberries.
Makes approximately 4 servings
435 calories, 40 g carbs, 20 g protein, 22 g fat* per serving
*You could lighten these up more by using low-fat milk, low-fat cream cheese, and a butter substitute.
Enjoy!
Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

This is my (almost) sane quest for insane health. Let's 
YUM! These sound perfect for Sunday breakfast.
You have a husband who cooks?! Lucky girl. I would be afraid to eat anything mine cooked. His cooking skills are pretty much limited to grilled cheese and fried eggs.
Oh those look yummy. I really like seeing the ratio of flour to wet ingredients because then I can experiment with the recipe. Or, I could just follow the recipe LOL!
These sound delicious! So glad Brent keeps the tradition alive
And although I have yet to make a batch, Swedish Pancakes are definitely a weakness of mine. Perhaps I’ll give this a try!
Ummmmmmmmm your hubby rocks!!! These look amazing!!!!! Love u girl!!
oh yum yum yum.
YUM!!!! Sounds like you have a wonderful hubby :O) Thanks so much for the recipe, I can’t wait to try it out!
Hooray for doting husbands. Mine makes healthy versions of yummy dinners for me all the time. What more could a girl ask for?
Those look seriously amazing. I am going to have to try.
YUMMM these sound SO good! nothing like breakfast in bed from the hubby with these delicious ‘cakes
Delicious!! But def. not dairy-free:( I’ll have to put this recipe on the hold shelf until after Jelly Bean is weaned! But then I’m all over it!!
Those look absolutely amazing! How yummy! You should submit this recipe to Recipe4Living.com!
Interesting. I love to see the differences in recipes: My Mom’s recipe was:
2.5 c milk
1 egg
1.25 c flour
salt
1 T sugar
Refrigerate a while
It’s a bit carb heavy for my high-protein days now but it’s the real deal- like crepes. She was 100% swedish with the huge accent & everything. Hope you don’t mind me sharing- I’d modify her recipe if I was to make it now
I absolutely don’t mind you sharing. In fact, thanks for contributing.
High protein! That’s the spirit.. I’m kind of a bodybuilder – or.. I just started, but I heard that proteins are great, so I’m gonna try these.. Thank you.
