Gluten-free, protein pancakes

So this morning I was in the Christmas spirit because I had just recently bought some new Christmas themed cookie cutters. So I decided to get creative after my post-run breakfast and make protein pancakes with a twist! Unfortunately, not everything went as planned...I made a mess of the kitchen, the the shapes of the pancakes were mediocre at best. BUT this is still a tasty recipe. It's just what you need in the morning, especially after a work out. It is packed with protein and carbs to replenish your body, and it's gluten free! So celiacs (and gluten-free dieters), try this for size!

You will need:
1/2 cup of oats
1/2 cup of egg whites (or you can use two eggs, up to you!)
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 tsp of baking powder
Cinnamon to taste

Prep:
1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. The oats are thick, so you may have to stick a spoon in once or twice to spread everything around before it become smooth and less grainy.
2. Put a pan on medium heat, and spray with PAM or cooking spray. Slowly pour mix on to pan. It will come out thick
3. Cook each side until it is a golden brown. It will kind of look a bit like a Cliff bar when it is finished.
4. Serve hot. I really like to eat them with greek yogurt and some berries- healthier option. But they go well with may other spreads- nutella, jam, and syrup! Enjoy :)
