Oxygen Magazine’s Pre-workout Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 scoop (~1/3 cup) vanilla protein powder (or I’m sure you could use any flavor)
- 3 egg whites
- 1/3 cup low-fat cottage cheese
**If your batter is too thick, add a little bit of liquid (milk, water, etc.) until desired consistency is achieved.**
Optional Toppings: agave nectar, honey, sugar-free syrup, almond/peanut butter, nuts, bananas, berries, whatever you like!
Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
Refrigerate batter for 3 minutes while heating a pan over medium heat.
Drop by spoonful to create 3 equal sized pancakes. When it starts to bubble, gently flip and cook other side.
Top with favorite toppings!
(I used Almond Butter, Agave, Sugar-free syrup and bananas!)

Eat and enjoy!
These were really tasty! Not your typical melt-in-your-mouth fluffy pancakes, but still yummy! And considering how healthy they are, I think they are awesome!
Yum! Oh, and I thought 3 pancakes was a GIANT serving! I could not finish all of them! I think 2 would be perfect or even 1 as a pre-workout meal (even though they called these “pre-workout” pancakes, I think I would hurl if I ate all 3 before a workout!)Next time I make these, I’m going to triple the recipe and freeze some. Then when I need a quick meal or snack, I’ll throw one in the toaster! I love simple, easy and convenient meals!I hope you all enjoy them as much as I did!Nutritional Information (for 3 pancakes):
