Apple Cranberry Almond Oatmeal Pancakes with Strawberry Blueberry Cream Cheese Sauce

Whether you make the sauce to go on it or not, you NEED to try these. Easy, simple, just as the other oatmeal pancake recipes I have posted. The secret ingredient is Quaker Hearty Medleys Apple Cranberry Almond Instant Oatmeal. One of the Walmart's here near town had it on clearance over the weekend, so I bought a box. Eating just as regular oatmeal: Fabulous
Eating it as a pancake: Super Fab =)

Pancake ingredients:
1 packet Apple Cranberry Almond Quaker Oatmeal
1 egg
enough water to get batter to desired consistency

Mix ingredients together and pour in to a preheated skillet that has been sprayed with pan spray. Cook 3-5 minutes on each side or until done.

While your pancake is cooking, get:
3 strawberries, rinsed, pat dry, stems removed and diced
a palm full of blueberries, rinsed, pat dry
1 oz light cream cheese

Nuke the cream cheese for about 10 second to soften, dump in the berries and mush together, leaving as chunky or as smooth as you want.

Pancake = 6 Points+
Cream Sauce = 3 Points+
or 9 Points+ for all of it.
Pretty Steep for me for breakfast but it is SO good! :)
Indulge, live a little!

Strawberry Cream Cheese

At the grocery store, they used to sell (and maybe still do?) flavored cream cheese. On that note, this is SO much better than that!!

1 oz 1/3 less fat philly cream cheese
1 oz diced destemmed strawberries
1 packet splenda

pulse in food processor until smooth. Enjoy!

2 Point+ for the cream cheese, spread on a low point+ piece of bread for a yummlicous snack =)

Frozen Strawberry Cheese Cake Bites

These little bites are make using ice cube trays! You can get finicky like i did and weigh everything or you can eye ball it. Weighing will give you more uniform bites and more accurate Points+ calculations.
This recipe could be slimmed down some more, but I used ingredients I had on hand!
Adapted from SparkRecipes

Ingredients:
1/3 tub cool whip lite (about 75g), thawed
4 oz 1/3 less fat philadelphia cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons Smucker's Fat Free Strawberry topping

Mix cool whip and cream cheese until well blended. Spoon out evenly in to 12 sections of ice cube tray ( I used my food scale and divided the amount of mix I had by 12, less the weight of the bowl I was mixing in).

Tap a few times on the counter to settle.

Top each section with 1/12th of the strawberry topping (again, I weighed and put 1/12 on top of each)

Freeze for at least 2 hours. Serve and enjoy!

These are good, but I think they would be better less frozen. Of course you have to freeze them to get them to be able to pop out of the mold, but...I vote let it sit in the fridge or at room temp for a few minutes before eating.


1 cube = 1 Points+
2 cubes= 3 Points+
3 cubes= 4 Points+
4 cubes= 6 Points+
6 cubes= 9 Points+
