Pumpkin Protein Pancakes

A delightful and nutritious twist on the classic breakfast favorite, these pancakes are a perfect way to embrace the cozy flavors of pumpkin spice while getting your protein fix.

The base of these pancakes features flavored protein powder, which adds a boost of protein to start your day right. Blended with canned pumpkin, oats, or coconut flour, and a touch of baking powder, these pancakes are a hearty and satisfying choice.

To bind it all together, we include an egg, a hint of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon powder, and a dash of salt. For the ideal consistency, we use milk of your choice (unsweetened almond milk works great).

For the finishing touch, don't forget a drizzle of nut butter or traditional butter on top. These Pumpkin Protein Pancakes are the perfect fall-inspired breakfast treat to fuel your day. Enjoy the warmth and goodness of pumpkin spice in every bite!

INGREDIENTS

  • ⅓ c flavored protein powder

  • 1/4 c canned pumpkin

  • 1/4 c oats or 1 T coconut flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon powder

  • dash of salt

  • 1/4 c milk of choice (unsw almond)

  • 1-2 T nut butter or butter for topping

    STEPS

  1. Add all ingredients to the blender and blend on low, then medium until the oats are blended well. Dough is runny.

  2. Heat a sprayed skillet over medium heat, add dough, and flip after a few minutes. Mine made three 4” pancakes. This recipe is for 1 serving so if feeding a crowd, double or triple.

    Notes: These pack in your 30 grams of protein but they’re low in fat so 1-2 T of nut butter or grass-fed butter is a great topping option. Yay for balanced meal pancakes. If not a pumpkin fan, mashed banana or apple sauce is a great swap. But honestly, you can’t taste the pumpkin really. Just skip the pumpkin pie spice if you're not a fan. Pumpkin is the least starchy and so full of minerals and nutrients it should be a year-round food to me, ha. Toppings pictured - whipped cream), peanut butter, and a sprinkle of granola. Not pictured, the spoonful of PB I had too, or else I’ll be super hungry in like 2 hours. It was a hungrier day, ha.
