Oatmeal Protein Pancakes

The Perfect On-the-Go Meal or Snack

Oatmeal pancakes are my all-time favorite travel food! Whether you're on a plane, in a car, or at your desk, these pancakes are a delicious, healthy, and portable option.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make 3 medium-sized, thick pancakes:

• 1 cup organic old-fashioned oatmeal
• 5 egg whites
• 1 whole egg
• 1/2 chopped apple (or substitute with natural applesauce for a thinner batter; strawberries, bananas, or raisins also work)
• A sprinkle of cinnamon
• Optional sweetener: 1–2 packets of pure stevia if desired
• Optional protein boost:
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (if unavailable, use additional egg whites)
  • Alternatively, use 3 whole eggs instead of 5 egg whites + 1 whole egg

Instructions

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl until you achieve a pancake batter-like consistency.
2. Heat a nonstick pan (use a nonstick spray or coconut oil).
3. Pour batter into the pan using a ladle or large spoon—3 spoonfuls make 1 medium pancake.
4. Cook until the bottom is lightly browned, then flip and cook the other side.
5. Once done, let the pancakes cool slightly, then store them in Tupperware or a zip-lock bag.
