TIPS & NOTES:
Surprisingly, Natvia goes a long way – further than sugar. Half a teaspoon doesn’t sound like much but is sweet enough to enjoy your new healthy, high-protein, low-carb, low-calorie and low-fat substitute for traditional pikelets!
I often cook this for breakfast as a high protein breakfast. Protein breakfasts ensure you won’t eat too much during the day and are great for accelerating weight loss.
If it becomes a regular recipe make your oatmeal, cinnamon and Natvia mix up in small containers in advance for quicker preparation in the morning.
Great after-school snack that will fill the hungriest of kids and won’t leave them starving right on dinner time.
