Ingredients

• 4 egg whites
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup oats
• 1/4 cup coconut flour

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the egg whites, applesauce, and almond milk and mix well. In a second bowl, combine the protein powder, oats, coconut flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Gradually add to the egg mixture and mix just until combined. Gently fold in the diced apple.
2. Heat a skillet on medium heat. Drop 1 teaspoon of the coconut oil onto the hot skillet. Once melted, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan.
