Single Serving Protein Pumpkin Pancakes

This recipe makes a single serving of pancakes, and contains more protein than the typical pancake breakfast, which will keep you going longer.

1/2 c rolled oats
1 Tbsp Sucanat
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp each cinnamon and ginger
Pinch cloves
1/2 c boxed egg whites
1/3 c canned pumpkin
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp butter for frying

Heat a griddle to medium.

Grind rolled oats to flour consistency. Mix with remainder of dry ingredients. Mix egg whites, pumpkin and vanilla together until mostly smooth. Combine wet and dry ingredients; stir until just mixed.

Drop butter onto points on griddle where pancakes will fry. When butter melts and begins to sizzle, pour batter onto pools of butter and cook as with normal pancakes. Makes 5-6 pancakes, serving 1.
