Protein Pancakes

Here is an alternate pancake recipe that has a little more protein than the average pancake.  I do a batch of these on Sunday that I can portion out for quick re-heating in the morning before work.  I have very little time in the AM, so anything that can save steps is a plus.  This one really works well for me.

5 cups Hungry jack mix
5 egg whites
1 whole egg
3 scoops vanilla protein powder
1 cup plain oatmeal
3 Cups skim milk

Mix all ingredients throoughly in a mixing bowl.  Let sit for 15-20 minutes.  Pre-heat a cast iron skillet to a low setting.  Make LARGE thick pancakes one at a time.  

I like them big and realy thick.  If you like them smaller, you can add water or a bit more skim milk to thin the batter out.  You can also add blueberries, cinnamon, or whatever other flavors you like.

Yield=13-15 large pancakes

I split the batch up into 5 equal portions in separate tupperware containers (Mon-Fri breakfast).

                               Cal          Prot    Carb   Fat
Pancake batch         2344       121     370     19
Each days portion    468          24       74       4
Lite syrup (1/4 cup)   100          0         0        0

I'll have a portion of these pancakes plus something else like a protein shake, cottage cheese, or an omelette (see my other recipe).
