***** THE FAME OF HEALTH and FITNESS’s CLEAN EATING PANCAKES *****

These pancakes are to DIE for! I promise you’ll never go back to your other pancakes again… and it’s okay to eat these everyday because they are CLEAN!!

*Makes 1 serving*

Blend the following ingredients:

• 35g of uncooked Quick cooking oats (or 1/4-1/2 cup)
• 1/2 TBSP flax seeds (optional)
• walnuts, pecans, chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)
• 35g cottage cheese or 1/4 cup (optional - but cottage cheese makes them fluffier)
• 5 egg whites
• 1 over-ripe banana
• cinnamon (to your liking, I use 1-2 TBSP)
• 1/2-1 packet of Stevia (optional - to add extra sweetness)
• 1/2 - 1 scoop whey (optional but it’s my preference to use whey - more protein!)

Heat up a medium pan and spray your pan with olive oil PAM. Add 1/3-1/2  of your batter to your pan, cook, flip, remove, and repeat for the remaining batter.

When your pancakes are ready, add 1 TBSP of all natural PB, almond butter, or coconut butter, 1-3 TBSP of sugar-free syrup (if competing) or pure maple syrup (preferred), and fruit (I prefer using one whole banana or mix half a banana and berries).

Enjoy! If you try this recipe, I’d love to hear about it! BTW, the pancakes are delicate so treat them with care when flipping them and I recommend cooking one at a time.
