Almond Oat Pancakes

These pancakes are HUGE! And this is only one one portion :)

Don't you love, fast, easy and (in my boyfriends opinion) yummy pancakes!? I had these for breakfast this morning. After my a.m. run I was looking for something that would fill me up, support my workouts (2 mile run and upper body weight routine) and, as always, TASTE GOOD! Here's the low down...

Dry Ingredients:
3/4 cup whole wheat flour (or sub gluten free baking mix if you want)

1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (whey is best but other types work too)
1/2 cup soy flour
3/4 cup oat bran (or just rolled oats blended in a food processor until fine)

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp xanthan gum (or gar gar gum)
pinch of salt
1/8 tsp stevia (optional, but I think it adds just a touch of nice sweetness)

Wet Ingredients:
200 ml low fat natural yogurt
250 ml Almond Milk (or soy milk, or low fat regular milk)
1 egg (or 2 eggs whites)

Directions:

1. Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl with a fork
2. Mix wet ingredients separately
3. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients
4. Let mixture sit for 5 minutes (if you can wait that is!!)
5. Spoon out onto medium-hot non-stick pan (you'll have to shape these with the spoon or rubber spatula because they're lovely and thick)

EAT & ENJOY!! I usually serve them with Agave Syrup (low GI syrup), sugar free maple syrup, or just spread Almond Butter over the top.
