Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Protein Pancakes

You all know I have a special place in my heart for. Cookies! To me, they are the perfect little treat. So what happens when I wake up craving cookies? I transform them into pancake form. Duh! This was my first time doing this miraculous transformation and let me add that it will most certainly not be my last. A few simple additions to your favorite pre-made or homemade pancake mix and you've got yourself cookie style pancakes. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Pancakes

1 serving of healthy protein pancake mix (I used Kodiak Cakes)

¼ cup rolled oats
2 Tbsp. raisins 

½ tsp. ground cinnamon

1 stevia packet

1 Tbsp. almond butter

White Chocolate Cheesecake Icing

2 Tbsp. low fat cream cheese, softened

2 Tbsp. plain greek yogurt

8 drops liquid stevia

1 Tbsp. sugar free white chocolate pudding mix

2 Tbsp. almond milk

Method

1. Mix pancakes according to package directions. Add in the rolled oats, raisins, cinnamon, stevia, and almond butter. Whisk or stir together. This will thicken the batter making it more similar to a cookie consistency.

2. Heat a skillet on the stove top over medium head. Coat with cooking spray and cook pancakes, about 2-3 minutes on each side, until both sides are golden brown. I was able to make 5 pancakes total.

3. While the pancakes cool, whisk together all of the icing ingredients until smooth. Spoon icing in between and/or on top of pancakes and finish off with desired toppings. I used blueberries and maple syrup. Serve immediately.
