Healthy Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes



This is a great way to start a day that requires lots of energy with no crash. 

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla

If you like a sweet pancake you can add any sweetener of choice but they don't really need it.
I have made these several different ways.  You can put all ingredients in the blender and then make them like normal pancakes or just mix them up and pour batter in the pan.  I found the best way is to mix them up the night before and let the oatmeal soak up the egg mixture.  The batter will be thicker than normal pancake batter and will not bubble when ready to flip but will easily slide around the pan. 
This makes 2 large pancakes and has 260 calories in it.  If I have a big day I usually top it with a couple tablespoons of Greek yogurt. YUMM!
