Good Eatin' Friday!

Today we'll me making some "yummy-to-my-tummy" Oatmeal Pancakes. Compliments of my friend Ashley from the gym. These are so great! Her recipe called for milk however right now I cant have milk so I slightly jazzed it up a bit. See that's the beauitful thing about cooking your own food. Not only do you have control of what your eating and how much but you can take a recipie and fit it to meet your dietary needs without compromising youself. Try these tomorrow morning or Sunday morning and you'll feel great but not guilty :-)

"Yummy-To-My-Tummy" Oatmeal Pancakes
(makes 5 1oz Servings)
1 1/4 cup Quick Oats
1 1/4 cup Egg Whites
1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Optional: Cinnamon to taste/ Toppings to taste

  1. Mix together oats and egg whites with baking powder, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a bowl.
  2. Preheat a skillet, spray with non-stick spray, and pour your batter in while shaping it into a large disc “pancake” with a spoon.
  3. When you can shake it around in the pan, it’s time to flip.
  4. Once cooked through, top with sugar free syrup, peanut butter, or my personal favorite – fresh fruit!!
