This week is National Pancake week and many will be partaking in these warm fluffy cakes tomorrow on "Fat Tuesday". Eating pancakes on Fat Tuesday is a tradition that many are a part of.
For those that are going to participate in this Fat Tuesday tradition here is a recipe I suggest you try so that you can enjoy the pancake tradition, but also keep your waistline in check.
High Protein Apple Cinnamon Pancakes
¾ cup Quaker quick Oats or instant oats
4 egg whites
½ cup apple, diced
1 scoop of Protein Powder
1 tsp. Of cinnamon
water (enough to make a semi-liquid batter like consistency)
Directions
1.) Put all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture has a semi-liquid pancake-batter-like consistency.
2.) Spray some non-stick spray on a frying pan and pour the mixture into the pan.
3.) Cook on medium heat. When one side is lightly browned and solid enough to flip, turn the pancake over with a spatula and cook the other side until lightly browned and firm.
Notes: For higher protein diets, add one scoop of vanilla protein powder ("Designer Protein" brand "vanilla praline" adds a nice flavor too). Wrap up your pancake in foil and take it to go, put it in the fridge for later use, or eat it hot! Oatmeal pancakes will stay fresh all day long without refrigeration.
For those looking to keep their goals of losing weight fast then follow this weight loss tip above and enjoy the Fat Tuesday tradition and do it in a healthier way.
Yours in health,
