Ingredients:
2 egg whites

Combining the hearty texture of multi-grain oatmeal with the aromatic flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg, these pancakes offer a wholesome and satisfying breakfast option. They are sweetened with stevia, making them a great choice for a low-sugar diet.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Batter:
- 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.
2. Preheat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Allow it to heat up for a few minutes.
3. Cook the Pancakes:
- Once the pan is hot, lightly coat it with a small amount of oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour a small portion of the batter (approximately 1/4 cup) onto the pan for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon to form an even circle.
- Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancakes carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Serve:
- 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.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil or non-stick spray to the pan as necessary.
5. Enjoy:
- Serve the cinnamon oatmeal pancakes hot, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
Tips:
- Ensure the oat flakes are finely ground for a smoother pancake batter.
- For extra fluffiness, allow the pancake batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat your skillet to medium heat before pouring the pancake batter to ensure even cooking.
- You can replace milk with a non-dairy alternative like almond milk if you prefer a dairy-free option.
- Top your pancakes with fresh fruits or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added flavor and nutrition.
In just a few easy steps, you can whip up these delightful Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes as a cozy and nutritious breakfast treat. Perfect for any morning, these pancakes combine healthy ingredients with warm, comforting spices to provide a satisfying start to your day. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite toppings for a versatile and delicious meal.
