Healthy Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats (original called for half oats, half oat flour)
• 1 cup nonfat milk (I used water) or 1 cup water (I used water)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional(but I used it!)
• 4 large egg whites (I used 1/2 cup Eggbeaters)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I used more)

Instructions

1. Heat milk or water until hot (if using water-I just used hot tap water). Add oats & set aside
2. Mix remaining dry ingredients & add to oatmeal mixture
3. Fold in egg whites and mix until well blended. I use my stick blender for a smoother batter; but that is optional! The batter is thick; depending on how long the oats have soaked you may want to add a little water to thin it out.
4. Cook on a nice hot griddle!
5. There are variations listed on the link provided above–you can add nuts, blueberries or protein powder! I am a “topper-” I spread natural peanut butter on top, sliced bananas & sugar free syrup!
