I have been lowering the oatmeal and adding tofu to make it lower carb (and higher protien). Makes them a little creamier.
I'm eating tons of them now.
I also use Stevia instead of artificial sweetener.
I've got a solution for eating on the go...pancakes are great, but have you tried putting any batter into a waffle iron? It makes a great crisp texture and is easy to grab and go. I'm sure it would work with your recipe!
