High-Protein Pancakes (recipe source: Maximum Fitness magazine)

• 1 cup large-flake oats
• 30g protein powder
• 1/4 cup egg whites
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp applesauce

Combine the oats, protein powder and cinnamon in a large bowl and mix well in the center. Add the egg whites and apple sauce, stirring everything until smooth. Heat a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat and coat with nonfat cooking spray. Next, pour the batter in the pan and brown on both sides (about one minute each side). Serve with no-sugar maple syrup.
