With the new workout regiment comes a new eating regiment. I've never really done things halfway and tend to jump in full force.This recipe comes from an amazing friend, who like me, has no idea of what slowly easing into something means and goes straight away for the top (eh hem, CMG).
My breakfast consists of a serving of protein, a complex carb and a simple carb, along with copious amounts of coffee. This pancake, topping and a cup of coffee do the job marvelously.
The best part is the kids love it and I couldn't be happier with that.
Ingredients:
4 egg whites (can reduce to 2 or you can use egg whites in carton)
1 whole egg
1/2 cup uncooked oats
1/2 banana
1/2 to 1 scoop of protein powder of choice. I use vanilla or pumpkin protein powder for this
Cinnamon - as much as you like, I use a ton (optional)
Capful of Vanilla
Variation: you can sprinkle in pumpkin pie spice for a pumpkin pancake, add some pumpkin too.
Waffle option: I make these into waffles over weekend, store in fridge and pop into toaster during the week.
Topping:
Mash up other half of banana or eat plain.
Use a small amount of coconut oil to grease your pan. Blend all ingredients together (or whisk) and pour into heated greased pan. Let pancake cook, cut into fourths and flip each section. Top with banana, yogurt, or enjoy plain!
Fine print: The actual pancake does not look as beautiful and tempting as the one pictured but come on, the one picture would have you doing cardio for two hours to burn off and no one really likes two hours of cardio.

Okay, these look WAY better than my protein pancakes, which I make with a scoop of protein powder, and egg, and just enough water to hold it all together. And they're pretty gross, unfortunately. Can't wait to try these!
