Since my mom is here, we have been running a mile a minute doing things for the house and getting settled. It is coming along. I am excited to have people over soon!
This morning we ran around and did errands then we just ran/walked a few miles. We were starving by the time we ate, close to four hours after we woke up. I did have half a luna bar before the run which gave me a little more energy than I would have had.
When we got home, I attempted Kath’s oatmeal pancake. My mom is up for trying anything so she readily agreed. I mixed (for the two of us):
– 3/4 rolled oats ( I would use minute oats next time so they are less coarse)
– 3 egg whites
– 1 tsp. vanilla and cinnamon
– 1 Tbs. Splenda
– 1 Tbs. ground flax
– 1/4 wheat bran
– 3/4 c. FRESH BLUEBERRIES 🙂
I mixed all of the ingredients in a bowl. I then made 4 small pancakes on a warm skillet sprayed with Pam. I let the pancakes cook for a minute before flipping them. We ate them on the deck with a spritz of spray butter and a squirt of lite maple syrup.
* Next time I would use the quick oats or maybe let the egg/oat mix sit in the fridge for a minute before cooking. I think this would help to combine the ingredients more. I would also add mashed banana into the batter like Kath does!
