Note: In revisiting this recipe I see that I had the wrong nutritional information! I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. It is, however so full of dietary fiber that it is only 1g net carb...
*Edited 9/5/2016: Per recipe: 255 Calories; 23g Fat (56% calories from fat); 9g Protein; 1 Net gram Carbohydrate; 31g Dietary Fiber
Serving Ideas : As a mini cake or muffin, I make these with 2 TBS of DaVinci syrup and cinnamon and cook in a silicon mini bundt pan in microwave on high for 1 minute. I frost with a quick mix of 2 oz. of cream cheese, 1 TBS of granular Splenda, and 1 TBS DaVinci syrup. What a treat!
NOTES : carb amounts are almost all fiber... unusable
This was very tasty and I happened to have oat fiber from Netrition.I added a little vanilla to it. According to them, the fiber count quoted is per cup (I think it was 35g) but the amount in the recipe calls for 2 TBS which would amount to 6gms of fiber according to the oat fiber package. Is this a correct assumption?
ReplyDeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteI got my oat fiber from Honeyville. Here is their nutrition info:
http://honeyvillegrain.com/Images/Labels/OatFiber.jpg
It is according to 28g. I don't know how much that is in Tablespoons! I wonder if I added the wrong info in my MasterCook. You may be right! I guess I better look into getting the right info there. Sorry about that!
This definitely shows me I need to get a scale. :p
ReplyDeleteOk... I used a digital scale and weighed it and 28g came close to 1/4 cup, so I changed the nutrition info according to that. But it is hard to get it exact because it depends on how you scoop it in the cup as to how much it will weigh! Each time I came up with a different weight, but 1/4 cup is the closest I can get to a volume measurement of 28g. of oat fiber on my scale. Hope that helps! At any rate... it is pure fiber, so all of it is unusable carbs, it does not raise blood sugar.
ReplyDeleteJust to make sure, I emailed Honeyville and they confirmed that it was about 1/4 cup
ReplyDelete28 grams is about ¼ cup.

I am looking for a bread recipe with Oat fiber and wheat protein isolate. anybody got one? please
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, the closest I can come to it is my pizza crust recipe: http://ginnyslowcarbkitchen.blogspot.com/2010/06/low-carb-buffalo-chicken-pizza.html
ReplyDeleteYou could make a focaccia type bread out of it. I am gluten free right now so I haven't done anymore things with wheat protein but I think Low Carb Friends has a great thread on "simple white bread" http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lowcarb-recipe-help-suggestions/458570-just-simple-white-bread-thread.html you might find something there.
Hi, Ginny! MADE & LOVED your oat fiber pancakes (and your blog). Would you mind if I linked it to a lowcarbfriends.com thread asking for oat fiber recipes? So many of us bought o.f. (for some purpose I can't remember) and several threads have asked "what do you use it for??" It would sure help others to know how tasty o.f. can be & what great properties it adds to baked goods like these fluffy, filling babies! Delish, i'll be making them regularly-what a great way to use up my o.f. AND enjoy natural, cholesterol-lowering treats!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked them! Yes, please, go ahead and post. :)
ReplyDeleteI made them in the form of a cake in the microwave, and topped them with the cream cheese frosting - except I used suger free black cherry syrup in the topping. Really good. One of your best recipes I think. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are enjoying them! And that's really great that it makes a good cake also in the microwave. :) I miss being able to use this recipe myself. I can't tolerate the oat fiber anymore. :( I really loved this recipe too, and miss it.
ReplyDeleteWe had these pancakes for dinner and my hubby loved them! Thanks for a pancake recipes that tastes great, and is very filling!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! Thanks for letting me know! :)
Deletehow much apple cider vinegar should we add to make it light and fluffy?
ReplyDeleteYou would use it in place of the 2 TBS of water
Deleteoh, oops :-)
ReplyDeleteGinny, I have a question about oat fiber. I have been making oat bran muffins to lower our cholesterol, but oat bran has a lot of carbs. Does oat fiber have the same cholesterol lowering properties as oat bran?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dee
Dee, I'm not a nutritionist or anything, but from what I've read it does. You might just google it and see what you find.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. Can I use it cup for cup as a substitute? Or is it too drying? I emailed Honeyville and she said it is very concentrated fiber.I've never use oat fiber and don't understand how it works, and if it can be used like oat bran.I can't find any info except a few recipes on LowcarbFriends that use small amounts of it.Any information you can share is welcome.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dee in CA
I have not used it in a while now, because I've gone gluten free, and Honeyville said theirs is not gluten free, but when I used it I would just use small amounts mixed with other flours such as almond flour or flaxmeal. I'm not sure how you would compare it to using oat bran. I suppose it would depend on what you are making. I think you would probably use less than oat bran in a recipe. I guess you would have to experiment. I really wish I could still use it! I loved the consistency it gave baked goods when I did.
DeleteGinny, have you tried Carb Zero Bread? It is Gluten Free and made with Oat Fiber and Flax Meal. I am sensitive to oat protein and gluten...are you?
ReplyDeleteI bought a loaf last night from Whole Foods $10.99!! But, so far I don't think it is bothering me and the fiber is helping with irregularity. Doesn't sound like there are any GF Oat Fiber brands available for consumers.
No, I haven't tried that. No it doesn't seem there is any GF oat fiber that I'm aware of. I've used gluten free oat flour, but very little as too much raises my blood sugar, but I don't really know how sensitive to it I am. Wow! $10.99?? I guess I'll stick to making my own bread. I've found psyllium husk powder to work really well in bread, as well as helping me with IBS. I've been using that more lately.
DeleteThanks for replying Ginny. I done some web search and appears the GF Oat Fiber is not available for consumer purchase :(
DeleteOh well. The Carb Zero bread is availbe online for $6.99 per loaf. Pamela
How does the Carb Zero bread taste?
DeleteI've had the carb zero bread. that's why I came here looking to make my own. Its better than not eating bread at all but it is very dry. It's better toasted and if you put jelly or butter on top you'll be okay. they add psyllium powder which helps with digestion but it is dry. online i foun it for 8.99
DeleteYUMMO!! Just made these for the first time and hubby said I could throw away any other pancake recipes I have on file. I multiplied all ingredients by 6 (except cinnamon) and ended up with about 12 good sized pancakes. Consistency and taste were superb! I did have to add additional liquid and opted for club soda as the extra liquid. Nice and fluffy! Added toasted walnuts to batter and topped with some Costco frozen berries (thawed of course) and DaVinci Sugar Free Pancake Syrup. As I said, YUMMO! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's great!! :) Great idea! I'm so glad these hit the spot for you and your hubby! :)
DeleteIs oat fiber a grain or wheat though, I am trying to stay off of wheat, eliminate it altogether. I know oats are a grain and oatmeal really spikes blood sugar. How is this different? I saw some recipes on Jennifers blog and shied away from them.
ReplyDeleteOat fiber is pure fiber from the oat. It has no effect on blood sugar at all because it is pure fiber. It is not oat bran, it is the pure fiber. Some people can use oats if it is certified gluten free even if they cannot have wheat, but everyone has to know their own body and how it is affected. I had to quit using the oat fiber because when I went wheat free I wrote to Honeyville and asked if their oat fiber was gluten free and they said it was not. So unfortunately I cannot have this pancake anymore which saddens me because it was my favorite! I have not found a good substitute yet.
DeleteGinny,
DeleteThank you for your message. Here is a recipe I recently used and thought it was good. I've tried a number of pancake recipes which have left me underwhelmed to say the least. Since pancakes are a favorite of mine, I was glad to find something that wasn't so dry and tough and flat and tasteless. I still am on the lookout though. I am a Christian too and was so glad to see your testimony on your front page and not buried somewhere in your pages. Blessings to you.

Those look wonderful! Thanks! And it's a blessing to meet a fellow believer always! :)
DeleteForgot to tell you that I tried the one minute bread/bun/cake with the cream cheese filling. It was so good. I was going to have dinner with a friend Tues. nite and there was just enough time between when I had eaten last and when we were going to eat, that I needed a little somethin'. I only ate 1/2 of it and that was enough and ate the second half the next morning. I made another one tonite to eat with my Celestial Seasonings herbal Lemon Zinger tea. I am pre-diabetic and am trying to overhaul my diet and total approach to food. I actually think from some of the newest info that is out now that I am a T2. Wondering if you might recommend something here on your website that is easy and just has the common ingredients that would be a good baked item for about 15 people in a bible study group that they would not be able to tell was wheat free. Thanks. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lovely combination with the Lemon Zinger tea! Glad you enjoyed it! Not sure if I can think of something right off hand for 15 people, but if you look through my pages you might find an idea. On the left sidebar my pages are listed with all my recipes. If I think of something I'll let you know.
ReplyDeleteBased on the above comments, I was still confused about how much fiber is in oat fiber. Honeyville information states that in 100 g of oat fiber there is 90 g of fiber. That is to say oat fiber is 90% fiber. Ginny verified that 1/4 cup weighs 28 g. Since there are 4 tbsp per 1/4 cup, divide 28 by 4 to get 7 g. Then multiply by 0.9 which calculates to 6.3 g of fiber per tbsp. So your pancake recipe would have 12.6 g of fiber just from the oat fiber. How did I do?
DeleteLOL, well I'm not good at math and it usually hurts my brain, but I'm glad you figured it out! ;) I just put it in my MasterCook and let them figure out per serving.
DeleteHow does mastercook work? Do you type the ingredients and amounts then hit anaylize to get calories etc? I'm not familiar with such software. What version do you use? How do you like it?
DeleteI have MasterCook 11. You get a bunch of recipe books that they already have in there, plus you can make your own recipe books within the software. You just enter the recipe and the nutrition info is supplied. So nice! I love it. Certainly makes life easier when low carbing. All my recipes when copied and pasted in my posts have the nutrition info given. Here is the website for it: http://store.valusoft.com/MasterCook-Version-11-Download_p_41.html I got it from Amazon.
DeleteI just tried this pancake recipe, and (although I made a few changes) they came out great! First, I doubled the recipe to make pancakes for two. Second, I separated the eggs and beat the whites with an egg beater until they formed stiff peaks (this is something I've always done with my pancake batter). I substituted one T of almond meal for one of the T of flax meal. I also eliminated the sweetener and the cinnamon. When I mixed everything together (except the egg whites), the result was a thick, gelatinous blob that I couldn't imagine turning into a pancake, so I added more water, a tablespoon at a time, until the mix resembled pancake batter. I probably doubled or tripled the water. Finally, the batter looked about right to me. I then folded in the egg whites and cooked these like I would normal pancakes. We ate them with sugar-free syrup, and they were really delicious! My boyfriend said, "You'd never know there's no flour in these!" We even had one pancake extra, and now our four dogs will weigh in with their verdict :) Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your tweaks and I'm glad you liked them! The flaxmeal could be what made them so gelatinous. I haven't made these for ages now, but I miss them! Since going gluten free have not been able to have them. I do love the way oat fiber makes bread things turn out.
DeleteIs there anything that can be substituted for the oat fiber?
ReplyDeleteI wish there was Sharon, because I can't use it anymore since being gluten free, but there just isn't a good substitute for it. But there are other low carb pancake recipes that are gluten free. Here is one I really like http://ginnyslowcarbkitchen.blogspot.com/2013/11/maple-syrup-and-one-big-fluffy-pancake.html
DeleteHi, can you tell me how you came up with the carb count for these pancakes? I can't seem to figure it out. My oat fiber and flax seed bot have zero carbs once you subtract the dietary fiber. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThere us one gram net carb. This is the count my MasterCook software gives. I'm not on my laptop with the software to look it over right now to break it down but when I get a chance I'll look at it.
Deletethe golden flaxmeal has 1g net carb according to what I used.
DeleteGinny these are by far the best pancakes ever !! So glad I found them. My picky husband who hasn't liked any pancakes since going low carb even loved them. Thanks so much for this.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear that Diane! Thanks for letting me know. :)
DeleteHi Ginny, is there anything to substitute the flax meal?
ReplyDeleteYou could probably just use almond flour.
