High Protein Almond Butter Pancake!

So it is the end of week two and only 8 days away from my photo shoot which means that nutrition is crucial at this point! At the same time, plain egg whites and plain oatmeal are getting a little bland in my diet, but they are such quality sources of all the macronutrients I need. After some cardio this morning, I decided to get a little creative to figure out something that taste delicious, but still was low carb with high protein and good fats.

This recipe is for 1 serving and makes 1 giant pancake! I think it is quite delicious and SUPER EASY to make! Here we go:

1/2 scoop Vanilla Whey (Clean Protein)
1/4 cup Oat Flour (This is just oatmeal ground up into a fine flour like consistency)
2 Liquid Egg Whites
Cinnamon
1 tbsp. Almond Butter

All you need to do is spray a small skillet with non-stick cooking spray and warm on stove on medium. Combine protein, oat flour, egg whites and cinnamon in a bowl and mix well (Or you can put all this in the magic bullet and it's much smoother). Pour entire bowl of ingredients into skillet and cook like a regular pancake flipping the pancake over when the edges get bubbly and golden brown. Once finished, spread 1 tbsp. of Almond Butter on top of GIANT PANCAKE and ENJOY!!!!
*A second option for topping that is still amazing and healthy is to top with sliced strawberries or whatever fruit you like and drizzle with SUGAR FREE SYRUP.
