Good morning!  I’m sure most of you look forward to sleeping in on the weekends (me too).  Another thing to look forward to?  Pancakes!

Here’s a great recipe from Stella’s Kitchen:

Oatmeal Pancakes

1 c milk or water (I used unsweetened almond milk)

3/4 c quick oats

3/4 c oat flour (grind oats in blender/grinder until the become the consistency of flour)

4 lrg egg whites

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt (optional)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 c blue berries fresh or frozen

Directions: 

Heat milk (or water) until hot, stir in oats and set aside.

Beat egg whites into a stiff foam with hand mixer or blender and reserve.

Mix remaining dry ingredients together and stir in oatmeal/milk mixture.

Fold in egg whites until mixture is well blended.

Spray pan with nonstick spray and cook pancakes until browned on both sides.

*Depending on how long you’ve let the oats sit, you may need to add a little extra water to the batter to thin it out.  It will still be thicker than regular pancake batter.
