PECAN PIE PROTEIN PANCAKES {Lean Version}

I had already my husband a pecan pie protein pancake and it just didn't seem fair that he gets to have all the fun. So, I rearranged a few ingredients, tweaked a few measurements and finally came up with a Pecan Pie Pancake that fits my {lean} needs. These pancakes taste outstanding!



PECAN PIE PROTEIN PANCAKES {Lean Version}
Servings: 1 {2 pancakes}

Ingredients {pancakes}
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
2 egg whites, large
1/2 scoop Dymatize Elite Gourmet Vanilla Whey Protein
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 TBS Torani Caramel sugar-free syrup
1 Stevia packet
1 tsp Walden Farm's Calorie-Free Caramel Syrup
1/4 tsp butter extract

Topping
1 tsp Splenda brown sugar
1 tsp pecans, finely chopped

Directions
Mix all of your pancake ingredients together in a small/medium mixing bowl. Make sure the egg whites are really mixed in well. Spray skillet with Pam Olive Oil and use 1/3 cup to scoop pancake batter onto skillet. Should make 2 pancakes. While pancakes are cooking, top with brown sugar and pecans. Flip when first side is done and cook Splenda/Pecan side down till golden brown. Serve warm.

Stephanie's Tip
I can actually eat these cold with no syrup or toppings. So, if you're on the go, these are a great breakfast food to eat with your hands. Can you believe it! You get to eat 2 whole pancakes!

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.
