finally found a use for my Hi-Lo stockpile

Before I realized that they had changed the formulation of Hi-Lo cereal a
few months back, I had bought a bunch of boxes. I didn't like the new
taste and texture, so they've just been taking up pantry space.

Right before Christmas, I had the food processor & the mini chopper out,
grinding all kinds of stuff for holiday cooking -- almonds, walnuts,
steel-cut oats, Cheeter's onion crackers, unsweetened coconut, etc. While
I was making a big mess anyway, I decided to grind up an entire box of
Hi-Lo for some as-yet-to-be-determined future use. This morning I found a
use for it: pancakes.

They're higher in carbs than some of the very-LC pancake recipes around,
but about equivalent to having a bowl of Hi-Lo cereal, so it was an okay
trade for me. (I think that the cereal shrank in volume by about half when
ground, so the 1/4 cup I used was equivalent to one normal 1/2-cup serving
of the cereal, or 5 g net carbs. With the cream and egg, it's about 6 g
per serving.)

One serving (2 pancakes):

1/4 cup ground Hi-Lo
1 egg, beaten
1/2 T cream
1/2 T veg oil
1/2 T vanilla davinci syruo
1/4 t cinnamon
1/8 t nutmeg

Mix all ingredients & cook like normal pancakes. Mine came out kind of
thick. But pretty tasty.

Well, that looks like fun. I rather like the Hi-Lo cereal myself, but
don't mind having another new thing to do with it.

By the way, I really like the Hi-Lo with frozen mixed berries mixed in.
I use Rice Dream instead of milk which is probably higher carb, but it
really tastes good. I have gotten so used to this, that when I finally
found the Atkins cereal to try out recently it tasted way too sweet for me.

Thanks for the pancake recipe,
Rebecca
