These were decent. I used 4 egg whites as I have always been told that 2 egg whites are the equivalent of 1 egg. I added a sprinkling of splenda and 1 ripe strawberry. It made them very pink and pretty. They were also very very thin. I wonder how they would be with more oatmeal? They looked like pancakes but tasted very eggy. They were not bad, just simply more eggy then pancake-y. Fine with a little sugar free maple syrup and a glass of skim milk for breakfast.
