One of my go-to breakfast staples is Oat Bran Pancakes. I usually make it for two people, so you can adjust as needed. This is included on my other tumblr, dedicated to CEA-HOW recipes and abstinence from compulsive eating… enjoy! http://ceahow.tumblr.com/
Oat Bran Pancakes
1/4-1/2 cup Oat Bran as allotted by your plan (unprocessed, raw oat bran).
6 T. water (optional or milk, subtract form your daily protein!)
1 Egg divided, add lemon juice and sweetener to the yolk, beat the egg white
1/4 to 1/8 t. Baking Soda (optional, I don't use it)
1/2-1 t. Grapeseed (Canola) oil
Stevia (or your sweetener of choice, optional)
Cinnamon (optional)
1/2-1 banana and/or 1/2-apple grated (optional)
1/4-1/2 cup Oat Bran as allotted by your plan (unprocessed, raw oat bran).

1/4 to 1/8 t. Baking Soda (optional, I don't use it)
1/2-1 t. Grapeseed (Canola) oil
Stevia (or your sweetener of choice, optional)
Cinnamon (optional)
1/2-1 banana and/or 1/2-apple grated (optional)
Instructions:
(Overnight Method : Most grain-y foods in general, are easier to digest when they are soaked. So, I take the Oat Bran and mix it with 3 T. of water and I mix it well; leaving it to sit on my counter overnight in a glass bowl. Sometimes I add the cinnamon the night before, too.)
Separate the egg, add sweetener, lemon juice and spice to the yolk, beat the egg white and then fold into the yolk mixture.
Add oat bran into mixture, mix well.
Add baking soda (really not that necessary with the beaten egg white).
Take the oil and spread it on a large pan (non-stick if you have it, I use cast-iron so I spread the oil evenly as I can).
Heat the oil to medium-hot, hot enough that it sizzles when you splash a bit of water on it, but the oil should not be smoking!
You can either make two LARGE pancakes or about 4-6 smallish ones.
Serves two (you can put these aside in the fridge or freezer for easy breakfasts!)
Optional: Mash or slice in half a banana or grated sauteed apples for a different flare (you have to take this from your servings of fruit though).
After you reach maintenance you might top it with almonds or some other nuts; if you are a vegan on maintenance you may use Chia seeds to thicken it without eggs, or omit the banana and use soy-yogurt or something similar and Arrowroot starch (2 T. allowed each day).
Sugar free syrup is an option, but I like the berry “faux” syrup concoction below because it doesn’t contain artificial sweeteners.
One Serving (made as described, with with 1/2 tsp oil)
1/2 protein
1/4 oil
1 daily allotment of oat bran (within the first 30 days)
