The Infamous Oatmeal Pancake!

This is the breakfast that Becca starts most days with, and most certainly every race day! It's filling, a great balance of carbs and protein, and tastes great with peanut butter or light syrup.

1/2 c instant oats
4 egg whites
a dash of salt
2 packets of sweetener or 1.5 tbsp of baking splenda
A shake of cinnamon
1/4c water

Preheat an omelet pan on medium high. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and mix vigorously to a consistant texture. Let it sit while the pan heats up. Spray the pan with Pam (or other spray oil). When the pan is heated, pour mixture in and shake pan to level out. Let it cook until the top of the pancake looks less moist, and when the bottom is browned. Flip and turn off the pan. Let the pancake coast in to finish. Give it about 3 minutes and take out of the pan.

Pancake toppers:
Peanut Butter
Syrup
Jams and Jellies

Stuff you can add to spice it up:
Chocolate Chips (Brian's choice)
Walnuts
Craisins
Pecans
1/4 c canned pumpkin (not pie filling! This is Becca's current flavor of choice)
