You’ll flip for these simple (no-sugar-added) flapjacks, which are packed with 22 grams of protein and 10 grams of filling fiber. And while there’s no need for a topper, you can easily sauté extra diced apple to spoon over the top for a mouthwatering presentation.
- Prep time
- Total Time
- ½ cup quick cooking oats
- 4 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ apple, skin on, finely diced
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 to 2 teaspoons chia seeds
Combine oats, egg whites, vanilla, apples, cinnamon and chia seeds in a small bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
Liberally coat a skillet with oil spray and warm over medium heat. Pour or spoon the mixture onto the skillet, making about 5 small pancakes. Cook each side for about 1 to 2 minutes, until the pancakes are golden brown. Reapply oil spray between flips to ensure the pancakes don’t stick to the pan. Enjoy the pancakes plain or topped with yogurt or a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
