Ingredients
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 1 egg white
- 1 scoop Beyond Yourself Isolate Vanilla protein powder
- 2 tsp stevia
- ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup water
Instructions
Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 25 minutes | Servings: 1
- Preheat your oven to 165°C
- Blend the base: Combine oats, egg white, and water in a blender (a Ninja blender works great). Blend until completely smooth.
- Mix the batter: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl. Whisk in the protein powder and 1 tsp stevia until you have a thick, pancake-like batter consistency.
- Create the cinnamon swirl: Pour half the batter into a small nonstick pan (approximately 4.5 inches across). Sprinkle with two-thirds of the cinnamon and the remaining 1 tsp stevia.
- Layer and swirl: Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon. Use a knife to gently swirl through the batter, creating a marbled cinnamon effect.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until set and lightly golden.
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before enjoying warm.
