Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 egg whites, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and a dash of salt. Whisk together until well combined.
- Add 1/2 cup of multi-grain oatmeal to the bowl. Mix until the oatmeal is evenly coated with the egg white mixture.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of stevia leaf sweetener. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
- Gradually add 6 tablespoons of milk to the mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.

- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm by covering with a clean kitchen towel or placing in a low-temperature oven.
