Protein Pancakes

 ChefJoyardee is back with Protein Pancakes. This is a recipe that I have been making for over 20+ years, since my days when I used to compete in Figure/Bikini Competitions. 

What do you need? 

• a skillet
• a spatula (you know, to flip the pancakes)
• 1/2 cup of oats
• 6 egg whites/1 whole egg
• 1 scoop of protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
• a dash of cinnamon
• Natural peanut butter (optional)

Time commitment

Prep time: about 5 minutes if you are good at separating eggs

Cooking time: about 4-5 minutes each pancake

Start off by dumping the protein powder (I like chocolate) into a bowl. From there, add the oats and cinnamon and mix before you add the egg whites and egg. Mix until all ingredients are well blended. 

Now heat up the skillet over medium heat and use a neutral oil if you do not have a non stick pan. Pour some of the batter in the pan and watch for the edges to start to look dry. Once that happens, you are good to go to flip to the other side. It will take about another 2-3 minutes. Transfer it to a plate and repeat. You can eat as is or top it with peanut butter. Now, I never said that I was ever good at making perfectly round pancakes.
