      Sure, but you will may want to tweak the amount. I don’t know the sugar to truvia conversion. Xylitol is as sweet as sugar.

      Warm one slice in the oven or microwave. 🙂 If you’re rewarming the whole pan, you can cover it with some foil to keep it from drying out. I’d do 200* for 15-20 mins.

      Hey Gwen! I just finished a serving of these with the Sugar Free Berry Sauce. This was, probably, my third or fourth try and was the best one, yet! Just wanted to put out there a few things that I did that may have put this over the top! 🙂
      Firstly, I put a thermometer in my oven and made sure the oven stayed at 375°, the whole time . I think these puff up best when your oven is hot enough, but my oven setting isn’t very accurate.
      Secondly, I just whisked the ingredients with a fork, instead of using the blender.
      Of course, my feeling starved may have had something to do with the extra goodness, this time, but I’m going to keep doing those two things.
      I also used 1/3 cup Joy-filled Eats Sweetener, as opposed to the xylitol.
      And, the berry syrup is one thing I can cross of the list of things that are prepped for a week’s worth of THM items. THANK YOU, Gwen~

    I grew up with the more custardy pannukakku, but my husband grew up with less eggs in the version his mom made. I cut the eggs back to 4,instead of 6. Is it still an S, or would that make it E?

      An E would require a lot more healthy carbs per serving, and probably need to cut some of the butter. I think they work best as an S. 🙂

    I was wondering though…is there a way to convert this recipe so it’s an E?

    I would love to add Apples and some cinnamon to this pancake but Apples are an E…this recipe would be a crossover if I added apples.

      Oat fiber and oat flour are not the same. I make my own oat flour by grinding old fashioned oatmeal in my blender. The oat fiber I buy online (don’t remember where). Most THM bloggers will have links to sites where it is available.

    I used Stevia in the Raw from the baking bag. Worked perfectly!! I was wondering if anyone has tried this batter in the waffle iron?? And if you had 2 pieces without fruit or a topping with carbs, wouldn’t it still be S with the carb count?

    Reply
    • Gwen says

      January 21, 2015 at 10:30 PM

      I don’t think this would work in a waffle iron because of the difference in texture…this is more of a custard consistency. You’ll want to switch sweeteners to one that doesn’t have dextrose or maltodexterin in it. Look for one with erythritol as the base with the stevia. 🙂

      You do want to keep carb count in mind. I’d try doing one piece, and enjoy it with some berry syrup or fresh berries if you want! If you’re still hungry, then add a FP option like the Fat Stripping Frappe and that should fill you right up! 🙂

    How much exactly is a scoop? And what is the ratio of sweeteners you used? You indicated that you use at least two kinds. Also, how much is a doonk?
    I am not sure what kind of small budgets our authors really have, but most folks I know cannot possibly afford every item and gizmo they want you to have… Putting the recipes into terms and financial means for even the tiniest budget would be a super big help!

    • Gwen Brown says

      February 25, 2015 at 2:46 PM

      Hi Tonya,
      The challenge with giving exact measurements with alternative sweeteners is that every brand of stevia (and sometimes different batches of the same brand) will vary a LOT in sweetness. I find that most of us get a favorite and kind of stick there, and learn to get a feel for how much it takes, whether you’re using the shake it out method or the tiny 1/32 of a tsp scoop that comes with some brands. If you’re new to using alternative sweeteners, try adding 1/2 tsp of whatever brand of stevia extract you enjoy to a full cup of erythritol or xylitol. That will give you approx. the sweetness of store bought Truvia. In this recipe you’d use 1/2 cup of that. You can bump the stevia up or down from there based on how sweet you like things. 🙂

      I’m not affiliated with the THM company in any way, but the sisters are now friends of mine. I can tell you that they wrote the plan for anyone on any budget to use (there is a chapter on that in the book actually). Healthy foods are their passion, and they are choosing to invest in creating a company that provides those as options. I think it’s a great idea! But you can do the plan with stuff you buy at the grocery store if you want.

      I did review their stevia and sweet blend and can tell you that it’s a great value because it’s SO stupendously sweet that you’ll use about half of what you do with other brands to attain the same sweetness. And they are priced competitively with other products on the market…that’s important to them. But truly-you can use whatever brand and products you choose for the plan.

    Gwen, I LOVE this pancake! Since I have some kids with sensitivities, I tried making it this morning in two batches: one with xylitol, one with THM stevia only. The one with only stevia did not brown as much. They both puffed equally, but the one with xylitol was 1 1/2 cm tall in the middle after sitting, while the one made with stevia was 1 cm tall in the middle after sitting. The taste and texture were basically the same, but the one with xylitol was slightly more satisfying to the mouth, because it was thicker. So if I had a choice to make this with either, I’d choose the xylitol (or erythritol). But if I had to choose whether to make it with stevia or not at all, stevia works well! My son who can’t have sugar alcohols still loved the stevia-only version. I’d give your recipe 5 stars and your recipe as made with stevia 4 stars. By the way, I used the THM conversion chart, and the substitution is 1/4 tsp THM stevia for 1/2 c xylitol. I have pictures if you’re interested!

My kids and I really enjoyed this morning though I enjoyed my homemade maple syrup more than my oldest did. I plan to enjoy with fresh berries and maybe homemade whip cream later since it is a S meal. I even baked it in a cast iron skillet like I normally would. THANK YOU!!!

    I made this recipe this morning for breakfast. I enjoyed it tremendously. I used your calculations for the carb count. I have Bob’s Red Mill oat flour and the net carb count is 22 for 1/3 cup. So that equals 99 for 1 1/2 cups. When I calculated the carb count for 10 and 12 servings I got 9.9 and 8.25 respectively. Am I missing something? That’s the carbs for just the oat flour. Now I’m worried I have a crossover meal instead of an S meal. Could you tell me what brand oat flour you used or if I’ve done something wrong in the calculations. I’m not eating crossovers right now so what I made this morning will go to waste. Ugh.

      Hi Stephanie,
      Hmmm…I bought oat flour from a Korean market at one point, or I grind up regular oats to make my oat flour. I honestly can’t remember which info I used for calculating- I usually go to http://nutritiondata.self.com/ to calculate ingredients for recipes if it’s not printed on the packaging. I don’t have the packaging from the flour I used, so I can’t check that.

      If you go from rolled oats, it brings the total to 72 for the whole pan. The only other carbs in the recipe would be the 1 net carb per cup of almond milk (so that would bring it to 73.5) I don’t count any of the other carbs, because for me, THM is not really about the math.

      But either way, that does bump the carbs to 6 or 7 per slice if you cut into 12 or 10 servings. Anything below 10 is going to fall into S territory, so I’d still consider this an S recipe, but I will change the nutrition info. THANK YOU, thank you for letting me know!

      If you’d like to whittle the carbs back even more, you can try subbing in 1/2 cup of oat fiber for the ground oats, and that would take the carb count back down to 4 or 4.8 depending on how you slice it. 🙂

      Definitely! You can reheat in the microwave for a single serving, but it heats *very quickly* so start at like 30 seconds. 🙂 Or you can reheat it in the oven if you want. If you know you’re going to do single servings of it through the week, you could even bake it in the 1 cup widemouth glass jars and keep them in the fridge!

    I have never made nor eaten a German pancake before. This looked good, so I decided to try it this morning. After baking for 30 minutes, it had a beautiful light golden brown crust on the top, but under the surface it was still very runny. I wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be that way or not since I don’t gave any experience with it. I decided to leave it baking for another 10 minutes.
    When I took it out, it no longer jiggled. It still had a very custard-like texture in the middle. The bottom was more cake-like and the top had a nice, thin crust. I don’t know if that’s what it was supposed to be like, but it was delicious!
    Thanks for the new idea for my breakfast rotation.

      So glad you enjoyed it! It’s *not* supposed to be super jiggly, so you probably did the right thing. 🙂 It’s definitely a custard. Maybe split the difference and go an additional 2-5 minutes, checking it to be just set. The pan size, and even variations in oven temps can affect it. SO glad you enjoyed it! It’s one of my faves too!

    Hey Gwen!
    Have you tried or do you think using part or all of thm baking blend in place of the oat flour would work? Wanting to find a way to cut back on the carbs to make the serving size a little larger. Thanks you!

      Hi Kelli,
      I haven’t gotten my hands on a bag of the THM Baking blend. I’ve played with coconut flour and am underwhelmed with the texture. I’ll keep experimenting. 🙂 Of all of the lower carb flour options, I chose oat because it gives the most tender result, and I really love the custardy texture. But I’ll keep playing with it!

        Gwen,
        Thanks for responding! I went ahead and did half oat flour and half baking blend. It turned out amazingly well!!! Next time, ill try all oats or all thm baking blend to see if there’s much difference in texture. The whole family loved it…even the picky little ones! Thank you for another fantastic recipe! Oh! We paired it with your fruit on the bottom yogurt made with frozen strawberries. We were very pleased and satisfied. Thanks again! You’re amazing!!!!

    Hi Gwen, just curious if you could help me on the amount of sweetener. I have messed up so many THM recipes trying to get the amount of sweetener correct. I find that I like Truvia more than THM Sweet Blend when baking. I do like the Sweet Blend in tea. Also, recently purchased THM Gentle Sweet, but haven’t used it yet. Anyway, would love you thoughts. Thanks Gwen and thanks for the awesome recipes!

    • Gwen Brown says

      August 23, 2015 at 12:05 PM

      Sweet Blend is a much more intense sweetness than Truvia.
      With any sweetener, I always start with the least amount possible and then taste a bit to see if it’s sweet enough. You can’t take out sweetness once it’s there, but you can easily add more. 🙂 Although with this recipe and the raw eggs, I wouldn’t use the taste method. But that works perfectly with smoothies and other recipes that you can taste as you go.

      For this recipe, I’d use 1/2 cup of Truvia, and not add additional stevia (since Truvia already has stevia blended in). If I were using Sweet Blend, I’d cut back to about 1/3 cup since it’s considerably sweeter. 🙂 Hope that helps!

    I used to eat this while serving the USAF in Zweibrucken Germany… for two years my landlords made this about once per week, you’re not kidding it can put the weight on ya’. I brought the recipe home with me and have fed it to my children and husband for 23 years. I had to stop eating it after the baby weight started to pile on! Thank you for sharing this recipe so I can enjoy this German Favorite again, it always brings back fond memories of when I lived off Kirchheimerhoff and my sweet friends the Bernds.
    sincerely,

      I should say I did use 1 c. oat flour and 1/2 c. almond flour and loved how it turned out. Was mainly trying to lower the carbs. I am new to the THM so is why I asked if this would lower the carbs. thx much.

    Gwen,
    I am confused when you say ” scoops” for the sugar free sugar. You also mentioned Stevia.
    How do I measure it and how much of each sugar free sugar do I use for the Bunny cake?
    This recipe looks delicious and I am anxious to try it soon.
    Thanks!

      Hi Terry! Many brands of stevia extract come with a little tiny measuring spoon that’s 1/32 of a teaspoon. So that’s what I was referring to in the recipe.

    How would this work with an almond flour/coconut flour mixture? They are much lower in carbs. The oat flour I have is 26 carbs for 1/3 cup! Yikes! I’m really wanting to make it for breakfast trying that mixture!

    • Gwen Brown says

      January 25, 2016 at 3:03 AM

      I ground the oats myself in the blender, so I can tell how many carbs is going into the recipe. 🙂 Nut flours and coconut flour are so different texture wise. I did a GF version here that uses coconut flour, but the texture is not quite the same for me. I prefer the oat flour.

It feels soooo good to eat this knowing that it is not laden with flour and sugar, but instead is eating one bite of healthy food after another! I am soooo thankful that you took the time to come up with this recipe and that you shared it with us all! Oh! And your berry syrup?!! It gets me through my pancake cravings while allowing me to feel like I am indulging at one of those famous pancake restaurants, because I top mine off with ff redi-whip topping and a cup of coffee with cream!! 40+ lbs lost in a year and nine months, eating like this! I might be a turtle loser, but I’m glad I’m not gaining 5 lbs a year!! So appreciative of your time put into sharing with us!

    Hi, Gwen… hope you get this, since I’m a latecomer to this awesome-sounding recipe! Back in the days when my MIL would make it (and then I myself on occasion) using, of course, all of the conventional stick-to-thigh ingredients, she said she found that mixing the batter up the night before (and letting sit in fridge overnight) made it better (and is, of course, most convenient for those busy, hungry mornings). Do you think that would work with this one?? Hoping to enjoy it for the first time for tomorrow Sunday brunch!
