CINNAMON SWIRL PROTEIN PANCAKES {Lean Version}
Servings: 1 {Makes 2 pancakes}
Skillet Heat: 200 to 250 degrees
Bake Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup Fat-Free Cottage Cheese
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 scoop Dymatize Elite Gourmet Vanilla Whey Protein
1 egg white
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp butter extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 TBS Torani sugar-free Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Syrup
1 TBS All-Natural {no sugar added} Applesauce
pinch sea salt
Topping
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp Splenda
1/2 TBS Torani sugar-free Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Syrup
Directions
1. Mix all of your pancake ingredients together till blended well. Lightly spray skillet with Pam Olive Oil. Drop mixture onto skillet and make 2 pancakes. You will probably have to take a rubber spatula and move your mixture around to flatten them out.
2. Mix your topping ingredients together till completely blended. It may take a second for the cinnamon to absorb the moisture. Then drizzle cinnamon topping on top of baking pancakes. Take a butter knife and score the pancake a few times in different directions. This will make your wonderful "cinnamon swirl" effect.
3. Pancakes will cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. They should turn out golden brown. Remove from skillet and enjoy while they are still warm.
Stephanie's Tip
Top with sugar-free syrup, cinnamon vanilla Greek Yogurt, or sprinkle with cinnamon & sugar. Or you could be like me and eat them with your hands with no topping or syrup. Yeah! They're that good! I seriously don't need anything on top of them. This is a great breakfast or post-workout meal for me that I can eat on the go.
