I LOVE pancakes...I have my pancake recipe that I converted to healthy pancakes. Make these and then freeze them and pop them in the toaster, when u need to change things up!!
1C ground oatmeal (I do this in the blender or food processor)
1T Splenda
2t baking powder
1/4t salt
1 beaten egg
1 C milk
(2 scoops protein optional)
Blend together and spoon onto a hot griddle.
I top my pancakes with Smart Balance butter or peanut butter and sugar free syrup; sugar free jam is another favorite.
**this can easily be doubled and tripled for the whole family**
