In celebration of Valentines Day, I thought I’d treat my loved ones to these delicious yet guilt-free pancakes. Perfect for any breakfast-lover without jeopardizing your diet.

Combining egg whites and oatmeal provides the perfect balance of protein and slow digesting carbs to fuel your day.

Get creative with your toppings: maple syrup; nut butters; greek yoghurt and berries for the sweet tooth. For savory options, add a dose of your five a day with sautéed greens in olive oil and garlic such as kale or spinach, fresh tomatoes and guacamole.

Ingredients

• 1 cup egg whites
• 1/3 cup oats
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• Topping of your choice (I chose maple syrup and chopped hazlenuts)

Directions

1. Grease pan lightly with coconut oil over medium high heat
2. Mix all ingredients (except the toppings) in a bowl until thoroughly combined. For smoother pancakes, blend ingredients in a blender for 5-10 seconds.
3. Pour mixture into pan to make 3-inch pancakes. When pancake begins to solidify, flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
4. Add toppings of your choice. I chose a drizzle of maple syrup and sprinkle with chopped hazlenuts
5. Breakfast is served
