Berry Protein Pancakes

Cook time: 10 minutes

• 1/4 Quick cook steel cut oats
• 1/3 cup light coconut milk
• 1/4 cup mixed berres (fresh or frozen)
• 1 serving protein powder
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 2 egg whites
• 1/2 teaspoon honey
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• Non-stick spray or cooking oil

1. Overnight: place 1/4 cup steel cut oats in a container along with 1/2 cup water, or until the oats are covered. They will absorb the water over night. Refrigerate till morning (you may skip this step and just use instant oatmeal).
2. In a blender combine oats, coconut milk, 1/4 berries, protein powder, egg whites, honey, and cinnamon. Blend ingredients well for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the consistency is like a smoothie.
3. Heat skillet on high and once heated, coat skillet with cooking spray or oil and pour batter directly from blender. I found that my protein pancakes took a little longer on each side than normal pancakes. You’ll want to wait till the pancake is nice and firm before flipping.
