Protein Packed Pumpkin Pancakes

Fall is a special time when you begin to smell the sweet aroma of pumpkin in the air. I have no shame in my love for pumpkin everything during the fall, so I incorporate it as much as possible. Below are two of my favorite recipes for protein pumpkin pancakes. These are two versions: a high carb version for off-season, and a low carb version for in season or cutting weight. Ingredients, directions, and macros included. Enjoy

Low Carb Protein Pumpkin Pancakes

• ½ Cup Canned Pure Pumpkin
• 1 Cup EggWhites
• 1 TBSP Coconut Flour
• ½ Scoop Vanilla or Pumpkin Spice Whey Protein
• 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 Dash of Nutmeg or Ground Allspice
• *Optional Truvia for sweetening

Directions:

• Heat skillet on low-med heat, spray skillet with non-sticking spray.
• Into medium-large bowl, mix all ingredients until smooth. You can also mix the dry and wet ingredients separately and then add together.
• Pour batter into skillet (can do 1-2 pancakes depending on the size of your skillet) and cook until the edges firm up or you see bubbles. Turn pancake.
• Serve with sugar-free, Walden Farm’s calorie-free syrup.
