Power Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients:

6 egg whites, beaten until fluffy
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 scoop protein powder
1/2 cup oatmeal, uncooked
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup flax seed
1 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp Canola oil
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Preparation:

1. Place all ingredients except beaten egg whites in a food processor and pulse or blend until mixture is uniform.

2. Pour blended ingredients into a bowl and add the egg whites. Fold until just blended.

3. Cook on a griddle or in a pan!

I had to make some changes. I used 3 whole eggs because I didn't have 6 to do just egg whites. I omitted the protein powder and used yogurt instead of cottage cheese. I added some freshly ground nutmeg with a dash of cinnamon.

They are great topped with fresh fruit, no-sugar-added jam or applesauce.

This recipe is taken from the Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook by Tosca Reno. It makes 6 medium-sized pancakes.
