Protein packed pancakes :)

Hi everyone!
I had the pleasure of spending time with Lisa Potts creator of Be True Apparel this weekend
and is the midst of trying to decide which one of her tshirts I could not live without (ended up being 5 that I could not live without) Lisa asked "Hey, do you want to try one of my protein pancakes?"
"Why yes I do!"
Within minutes I had a warm bluberry protein pancake that was a great snack served all by its delicious self - no syrup needed.
We quickly agreed that this recipe was great for kids (maybe add some almond butter or peanut butter or organic grade b maple syrup) for our husbands, and pre or post workout. So pretty much anytime for anyone!
Here is the recipe with some alternatives-- would love your feedback or your recipe ideas.

Protein Power Pancakes: (Banana Cinnamon)
3 cups oatmeal (any brand of regular old fashioned oats)
1 bottle (12 oz or so) liquid protein (preferably vanilla or a neutral flavor -Costco "Premier Protein Vanilla" **** This is an option, you can also use water or organic almond milk
3 scoops protein powder - I use Transitions Chocolate Delight
10 egg whites
3 mushy bananas (previous frozen preferably)
2 tblsp wheatgerm
2 tblsp milled flaxseed
2 tblsp Stevia (or any sugar substitute that you use - Agave nectar works great too)
2 tblsp cinnamon
Yields about 24-26 pancakes depending on size
Nutrional Value: Cal: 75; Fat: 1.6; Carbs: 6; Protein:8; Fiber: 2 (for one pancake)***This is key because these yummy snacks could easily turn into 4 or 5 pancakes. Keep your goals in mind and take the steps to your Ultimate Transition.
