09 May Healthy Protein Pancakes

Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
1 cup low fat milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

1. In a blender, mix together all ingredients. Blend until smooth.

2. Heat a pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot add the oil. Pour the batter from the blender into the pan in about 1/4 cup portions to form small pancakes. Divide the blueberries, chocolate chips between pancakes and cook for about three to five minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with any remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.

3. Divide pancakes between plates and enjoy! Add additional toppings like Greek yogurt.

Regular pancakes are fine to enjoy, but they can leave our blood sugar crashing soon after and hungry again. These pancakes have a great mix of complex carbs and fiber, protein and flavor to keep you feeling satisfied and nourished!
