You can have pancake for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or anytime of the day if you feel like having something similar to bread or baked goods. I like these Medifast Pancakes because it is not too sweet. Best of all, it is very easy to prepare. If you are always rushing in the morning to go to work or rushing to take your kids to school, you can prepare this meal the night before or just wake up a few minutes earlier.

Medifast pancakes are the perfect meal for any busy person and can be eaten on the go if you like your pancakes plain. I normally cook these pancakes in the microwave using a microwave safe mug, ramekin, glass measuring cup, or any microwave safe bowl. Related Read: Frozen Food From Nutrisystem Is Delish
These pancakes turn out to be a little bit on the dense side … more like muffins or scones. Try adding a pinch of baking soda to improve the texture of the pancake and to make it a bit fluffier and lighter.
This morning I had a little more time so I decided to cook my pancakes using the stove top. You will need a sauté pan. Don’t forget to spray the pan with Pam (oil spay can) so the pancakes will not stick. It took me less than 3 minutes. Yup, just 3 minutes and your pancakes are ready to eat! Simply follow the instructions written at the back of the package. Read also: Save on delicious meals with Nutrisystem plans

Tips To Remember To Make An Excellent Medifast Pancake Meal
You can either put the contents of the pack in your Medifast plastic container/shaker, add ¼ cup water and shake or just mix. Five shakes will do the trick, the batter incorporates very well. Mixing the batter works too but it makes flat and dense pancakes. Do not over mix. A few lumps are just OK.
Use non-stick spray on your pan. One Medifast Pancake pack makes three to four 2½ inch pancake rounds. I was a little disappointed with the texture at first. My pancakes turned out flat and a little dense because I forgot to add a pinch of baking soda and may have over mixed the batter. Anyway, it was still good and a treat for me since I imagined I was eating a plain crepe. You can even dress your pancakes with Medifast Sugar-Free Syrup or any calorie free syrup or sweetener.
These pancakes are definitely not soft, light and fluffy like the pancakes served at IHOP, Pancake House or Denny’s. You may think that you are not getting enough food to last you for 2-3 hours but since it is packed with all the good nutritious stuff that Medifast is known for plus it contains 11 grams of protein, this meal will definitely carry you until it is time to eat again.
