PB&J Oatmeal Pancakes

I love breakfast, and could not imagine my life without pancakes. Since I began clean eating a few years back, I noticed a huge crash in my energy levels after a traditional pancake breakfast. Although I think they are delicious, I prefer to be able to take care of my daughter and not feel guilty about the hundred of calories that come along with them

This recipe is perfectly acceptable for clean eating and weight loss. If you are sensitive to gluten, there are gluten free oats available at Costco, Whole Foods, and many other markets.

Ingredients
(serves 1)

• 50 g raw rolled oats (about 1/2 cup)
• 4 egg whites (You can add more egg whites to give you a thinner pancake and more protein)
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon (just sprinkle it)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla (a dash)

Toppings

• 1 tbsp raw almond butter (90 cal)
• 1 tbsp no sugar added fruit spread (30 cal)

Directions

1. Preheat a non-stick pan on medium heat.
2. In a small bowl mix eggs, oats, cinnamon and vanilla until well blended.
4. Scoop out 1/4 cup of batter at a time into the pan. Flip the pancake when the batter begins to bubble, about 3 minutes. and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Top each pancake with almond butter and fruit spread
