Here’s another recipe that I got from Bob Harper’s “Skinny Rules”. These may not taste like your normal pancake, but these are such a great morning option and awesome post workout snack! (Sweet potatoes rock for a clean post workout carb!)

I’ve made this as one really large pancake and as 4 smaller ones. Do what you prefer. If you want to make them for the family, you will want to double or triple the recipe. Finally, I’d recommend making a batch of this and keeping it in the fridge for a fast option. I think it would keep for a few days!!

Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

1. Combine the sweet potato, oats, egg whites, vanilla, spices, and flax seed in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
