Preworkout Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes

I keep a bag of these in the fridge to grab for the kids’ breakfast or on my way to the gym.

Preworkout Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes 

• 1/4 c flax seeds
• 1 c Old Fashioned rolled oats
• 1 c whole wheat flour
• 1/4 t baking soda
• 1 t baking powder
• 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
• 1/2 t kosher salt
• 4 egg whites
• 2 c light buttermilk (such as Friendship brand)
• 1 t vanilla

Grind the flax seeds (I have a coffee grinder I use only for grinding flax seeds, but a mini chopper or food processor would work fine too). In a bowl, combine the ground flax seeds with next 6 (dry) ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining (wet) ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and whisk to combine.

Heat your pan or skillet – I use an electric skillet. I also use olive oil in an oil mister spray to spray the skillet. Using a 1/4c measuring cup as a scoop, scoop batter into the hot skillet. Flip when they show a couple bubbles, and cook until they are cooked through. Yield: 16 pancakes.
