Banana protein pancakes

So sorry that i have been slacking lately. I meant to post these next two posts last week but i couldn't find the camera cord and now it's been found! Yah.


This recipe is soooo delicious, healthy and full of protein, which we need to help keep us full and build muscle! For these pancakes i chose to mush up fresh strawberries and put them on top. However you can also cook frozen berries to create a syrup or use unsweetened apple sauce. 



Ingredients

  • 1 C Oatmeal
  • 1 C Water
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 ripe banana

Instructions

Add oatmeal and water to a bowl
Add cinnamon, vanilla, banana (broken into pieces)
Mix and mush the banana in to smaller pieces
add egg whites and mix again

Batter should be thin enough to pour easily but not so thin that it is watery. Add a little water and stir if they are too thick. Or add some more oatmeal if they are too watery.

Heat griddle to 375 degrees
Spray griddle with olive oil spray
pour pancakes, (tilt griddle if needed to spread out batter to thin out pancakes a bit) and let them cook about 3 min then flip and cook another to 3 minutes. 
Nutritional value is similar to my other protein pancakes!
