PECAN PIE PROTEIN PANCAKES {bulking version}
Servings: 1 {makes 2 pancakes}
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 TBS Torani sugar-free caramel syrup or cinnamon brown sugar
1/4 tsp butter extract
2 egg whites
2 TBS Almond Breeze unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 stevia packets

Topping
1 TBS pecans, chopped
1 TBS Splenda brown sugar

Directions
1. Mix all of your main ingredients together till blended well. I used a 1/2 measuring cup to measure my pancakes onto my skillet. Makes 2 pancakes. You'll want to cook these on low/medium heat. It takes a good 15 minutes or so to get them to fully cook. They are super thick and you'll want to make sure the middle of your pancakes get cooked, without burning the outside of them.

2. While your first side is cooking on the skillet, sprinkle your topping of pecans and Splenda brown sugar over the top of them {as seen in the picture above}. Then flip when ready and cook on other side. They will stick to the pan slightly due to the brown sugar. This is normal. Just be patient and ease your spatula underneath till they release.
