Pumpkin Protein Pancakes

These are great Post Workout.  They are filled with Protein and Healthy carbs.  Heck, maybe even great anytime of the day, especially when you are feeling like something sweet! :) I love them topped with Banana or berries, pure maple syrup or nut butter.  If I'm really feeling crazy then I'll do all three. ;)

Let me know if you try them out! I cook these up if I'm feeling like something different for breakfast besides eggs or a protein shake. 

Protein Pumpkin Pancakes

5 egg whites

1/2 cup 100% Pure Pumpkin, canned

1/3 cup oat flour (just blend oats in a blender for a couple seconds and you'll have oat flour. I prefer to use gluten free oats.  Can also sub with Coconut Flour to make this naturally gluten free and Paleo, try 2 TBS Coconut Flour.  Makes it a little harder to flip, but tastes great!)

1/2 scoop protein powder

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp baking powder

few shakes of Cinnamon

few shakes of Pumpkin Pie Spice

Blend well and cook on non stick or greased pan.  I make them only about 3-4 inches round so it's easier to flip.  They will have a different texture than regular pancakes.  Cook on Low/Med to give the middle time to cook up.  

*top with fruit, natural nut butter, pure maple syrup or honey.

These are approved by my kids! Yay!

Enjoy!
