Directions:

1. Place all ingredients (except beaten egg whites) in food processor  and blend until mixture is combined.
2. Pour blended ingredients into a bowl and fold in beaten egg whites.  Fold until just blended. (If using berries, add at this time)
3. Spray griddle/pan with cooking spray. Ladle pancake mixture onto  griddle and cook until both sides are golden brown.
