Protein Pancakes

After trying out many protein pancake recipes, this is my own recipe and combination that I really like. I eat these at work everyday. Someone once asked how I eat them without butter or syrup, so if you are one of those people I suggest topping them with nut butter and also make sure to use a protein powder flavor you really enjoy. Also, I use a small frying pan which makes these guys into perfect circles, that's my secret!

Protein Pancakes
Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup Oats (I use Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but you can use regular rolled oats) 
• 2/3 cup Egg Whites
• 1/2 scoop Protein Powder 
• 1 Banana

** Extra add ins I'll sometimes do:

• Use 1/2 cup Oats for thicker pancakes or more carbs
• Add in a tablespoon of Almond or Cashew Butter (or Peanut Butter if you are not totally paleo) to add some more fat OR smear on pancakes as a topping

Instructions:

1. Mix all ingredients in a blender
2. Spray pan with olive oil and set to medium heat
3. Pour half the mix on the pan, let sit for a couple minutes and flip (keep an eye on this, if you move the pan back and forth and the pancake slides, flip it)
4. Once done, take off the pan and repeat the last step with the rest of the mix. This recipe makes two pancakes.
