Egg Nog Protein Pancakes

One would think after last night's Thanksgiving dinner that I would just be looking for salad and protein today, but I was totally in the mood for some pancakes.  It may have something to do with deadlifting with Ru.  He did 250 lbs x 25 reps.  I have to work on it.  I couldn't do one of those!  :-(  So we lowered the weight to 130 lbs and I hit that for 25 reps.  To my credit, I definitely could have done more.  ;-)

As we are getting close to the Christmas holiday,  I definitely find that my pancake cravings are inspired by flavors of the season.  Today was dedicated to Egg Nog.  

Egg Nog Protein Pancakes

1/3 cup ground oats

1 Tbsp. wheat germ (I think I will take them out next time)

1 scoop Vanilla Creme Proto Whey

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1/4 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. stevia

1 egg white

1/4 cup Rice Dream Rice Nog

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. bourbon whiskey (optional)

Combine all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl using a fork to blend. Add all liquids and blend evenly.  

Heat a non-stick skillet coated with Pam over a medium flame.  Use a tablespoon to pour batter in pan.  2-3 tablespoons per cake.  When the tops begin to bubble, flip to cook the opposite side.  

Top with fat free Redi Whip.

Happy Holidays!
