Oatmeal Pancakes

Courtesy of Chuck Maldonado


1 c oatmeal
4 egg whites
dash cinnamon
dash vanilla
1-2 tsp agave sweetener (I used Stevia in the Raw b/c I didn't have agave)
Optional: Fresh fruit of your choice (I peeled & cut up an apple)

Put everything in a blender and mix on high speed until everything is blended well and it forms a thick milkshake-type texture. Measure out four scoops evenly onto a griddle (I used ¼ c measuring cup for accuracy). Unlike regular pancake batter, the middle of these will not bubble when they're ready to flip because the batter is too thick. You have to watch around the edges - they'll get tiny bubble holes and that's when you need to flip them.

You can serve with any kind of syrup you choose. I used natural apple syrup with mine and they were delicious.

Thanks again, Chuck for passing along this recipe! They were magnificent (and surprisingly filling)!!
