Ingredients
45ml unsweetened applesauce
1 egg
2 egg whites
61g old-fashioned oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2.5ml vanilla extract (optional)
2.5ml cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Whisk It Together: Start by beating the egg and egg whites in a bowl until they’re light and fluffy.
Make the Batter: Mix in the applesauce, oats, protein powder, and optional cinnamon and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
Cook Low and Slow: Heat a skillet over low heat and spoon the batter in, forming 5 small pancakes. Let them cook gently for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Top It Off: If you’re feeling fancy, add a teaspoon of almond butter on top for that extra creamy touch (but hey, it’s optional).
