Packed with protein and healthy fats, these pancakes are an excellent breakfast option that will keep you full and energized throughout the morning. This recipe combines the rich taste of multi-grain oatmeal, the nutty flavor of flaxseed, and a hint of cinnamon to create a perfect balance of tastiness and healthiness.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the multi-grain oatmeal, flaxseed, stevia leaf sweetener, cinnamon, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well distributed.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they are slightly frothy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the pancakes lighter and fluffier.
- Pour the beaten egg whites into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until all components are well combined. The batter will be thick.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If necessary, lightly grease the surface with a small amount of cooking spray or a light coating of oil to prevent sticking.
- Once the skillet or griddle is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the cooking surface. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into an even circle if needed.
- Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
