Protein Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes


Ingredients

Mix together
3/4 cup rolled oats (I used NOW organic rolled oats, non-GE)
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Set this aside. Let the oats soak while you prepare the rest of your batter. 

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the following ingredients:

3/4 cup oat flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons of Ground Flax Seed
1 to 2 Scoops Vanilla Protein powder (I use NOW Whey Vanilla Protein which has 25 grams of protein per scoop)
Add this next list to the dry ingredients:
2 egg whites
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
Add the oatmeal/ almond milk mixture
Mix together until blended



Directions
Cook on a griddle/frying pan like you would any other type of pancake.

I just place a little butter on mine and they are delicious!

Makes 12 5 inch pancakes

If these are not sweet enough for you, you can mix 2-3 packets of Stevia (Use NOW Foods Organic Stevia packets)
