Starting your day off with a clean, high protein breakfast lays the perfect foundation for desiring clean foods throughout the rest of your day. Don't let fancy marketing claims fool you; I can assure you that a Nutri-Grain bar isn't by any stretch the ideal fuel your body demands.
I often begin my day with a bowl of oats and four to five egg whites. Like with any routine, switching things up a bit is often necessary to keep "easy-outs" at bay. Recently, I was reminded by my extremely fit sister-in-law, Jenny Hansen, to turn to one of my favorite recipes, Egg Whites & Oats Pancakes, when a little change in the breakfast theme is necessary. It's the perfect fix for making you feel like you are eating something entirely different, even though you are using the same exact ingredients!
Ingredients (Makes One Pancake)
Five Egg Whites
1/2 Cup of Oats
1/2 Teaspoon Quality Ground Cinnamon
1 to 2 Teaspoons Raw Agave (or Natural Stevia) - OR leave this ingredient out all together as I did today :)
Directions

1 to 2 Teaspoons Raw Agave (or Natural Stevia) - OR leave this ingredient out all together as I did today :)
Directions
- Beat five (or whatever your heart desires) egg whites using a blender and/or hand held mixer until fluffy texture is reached (roughly 30 to 45 seconds).
- Add remaining ingredients and stir together.
- Spray a small frying pan with a natural medium to high heat oil and place on stove on medium heat.
- Pour "pancake batter" into small frying pan
- Cook on medium heat until bubbly, a little dry around the edges, and lightly browned on the bottom.
- Flip, cook other side.
- Enjoy! While I enjoyed this plain today, you could top with berries! Mmm so good!

Thanks for the recipe! Will try it tomorrow morning. My husband and I have been looking for alternatives to the regular "pancake".

How many cals?
ReplyDelete250 cal without agave
ReplyDeleteMade this great pancake with stevia. Topped it with 1/4 med. banana & 2 strawberries. Only ate 1/2 of the pancake & it was enough! Next time I probably will experiment adding more spice, maybe nutmeg. Great recipe!!!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried to make these ahead and freeze them and then pull out what you need to microwave?
ReplyDeleteHey I just tried this one out and I must say it is awesome, thanks a lot :)
ReplyDeleteJust tried this too....it's awesome! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI blend the oatmeal and eggs so its the consistency of an actual pancake, so good!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is good with some applesauce thrown in to the batter. And I also put it all in the blender and it came out looking like a regular pancake. Well I must say my recipe was similar to this but not exact as I started making the Biggest Loser oatmeal pancake but found I didn't have cottage cheese. I had already mixed together 6 egg whites and 1 cup of oatmeal. Then I went looking for recipes that use just oatmeal and egg whites and found this one.
ReplyDeletedo you use regular or quick oats?
