Light Oatmeal Pancakes

Omar and I had these awesome pancakes for dinner last night!

Yeah that's right...I said dinner...

We're rebels like that...

The great thing about these babies is that they're so healthy, you can eat them any time you want! Breakfast, lunch, or dinner...or all three if you prefer! (But I wouldn't recommend it ;) )

Light Oatmeal Pancakes (inspired by this recipe from Spark Recipes)
makes 10-12 pancakes

• 1 cup old fashioned whole grain oats
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 6 egg whites
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 packets of sugar substitute (I used Splenda)
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

1. Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until mostly smooth.

2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
3. Pour approximately 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.

4. When you start to see bubbles forming on the pancakes, flip them and cook on the other side until brown.

These pancakes are so versatile and can be made many different ways! If you want to add in fruits, be sure to do it after you have blended everything or the batter will come out too liquidy. Mini chocolate chips, my personal favorite, would be a great addition to these, as well! I topped mine with sugar free syrup and slices of banana!

The skinny:
Each pancake (made with 1/4 cup of batter) has approximately 53 calories and .5 grams of fat! So go ahead and serve yourself up a short stack!

Try these out on the kids and family...no one will EVER guess they are healthy! :)
