Oat Pancakes

Ingredients:

  1. 1/2 cup quick oats

  2. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  5. Cinnamon to taste

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the oats, egg whites, baking powder, vanilla extract and cinnamon.

2. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium low heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the oat mixture into the skillet or griddle and flatten it into 2 round, pancake shapes.

3. Flip over when the edges of the pancakes are cooked most of the way through (this should take about 1-2 minutes). After flipping, cook for another minute until pancakes are golden.

4. Remove from heat and enjoy! Try adding variety of toppings: fat free plain or flavored yogurt, mashed banana or berries, 100% fruit spread or jam, applesauce, and 1-2 teaspoons of warmed peanut butter.
