Calories: 340kcal
Ingredients
- 6 oz sweet potato, microwaved (170g)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (oatmeal) (40g)
- 1/4 cup pancake mix (sweet potato, pumpkin, or multi-grain) (37g)
- 1/3 cup whey protein, vanilla (31g/1 scoop)
- 1/2 cup nonfat milk 120ml
- 4 lg egg whites (or 1/2 cup liquid whites)
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 Tbsp zero calorie brown sugar (or to taste, or sweetener of your choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (or maple extract)
Instructions
- Microwave sweet potato about 4.5 to 5 minutes (use boiled or baked if you prefer)
- Remove the skin, and mash with a fork in a mixing bowl
- Add the oats, pancake mix, skim milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple extract, and sweetener to the bowl
- Preheat a griddle or a non-stick skillet on medium (or just slightly under medium) heat. Pour half the mixture onto the pan or griddle to form a 5 to 5.5 inch pancake. Repeat for second pancake
- Cook on medium heat for 3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for 2.5 minutes
- Watch the time closely as these will burn quickly after 3 minutes. Also the second side may not take as long as the skillet will be hotter. If in doubt, under-cook, don't over-cook
- Eat plain, or top with reduced-calorie maple syrup. Great with blueberries too
