Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes

UHM... Pumpkin URRYTHANG!

This recipe is EASY PEASY -- just how I like it. I know the ingredients list looks long, but trust  me its pretty quick to whip up!

What You Need: *makes 8-10 small pancakes -- (Psst! I like to make a bigger batch to save and freeze through out the week)

Wet Ingredients (Mix in separate bowl):

• 2tbsp of Coconut oil (unrefined organic)
• 1 cup of almond or rice milk
• 2 tsp of vanilla
• 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree
• 3 egg whites/1 egg 

Dry Ingredients: (Mix in Separate bowl):

• 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat or coconut flour (I also found whole grain at Costco)
• 1 tsp of cinnamon 
• 1 tsp of pumpkin spice
• dash of cloves (grounded)
• 1 tsp of salt
• 2 tsp of baking powder

What to Do: 

1. Mix the wet ingredients first - let sit while you mix dry ingredients. 
2. Pour the wet into the dry bowl and whisk thorough. If it seems too thick, add a splash of milk until batter like consistency. 
3. Heat the pan with coconut oil, pour mix in small silver dollar sizes then when it bubbles at the top, flip. 

If you want to get all fancy pants with the syrup, I add 1/2 scoop of Cinnabun protein to the syrup and then pour over! VOILA! Bon Appetite! 

Cinnabon Protein Pancakes

I LOVE cinnamon, but too much cinnamon weirdly makes me nauseous... I don't know why it happens! But whenever I have a Cinnabon I have a few bites and I'm good! So when I made this recipe I tried to keep all that in mind. And VOILA, I was able to master the art of cinnamon and not puking!

What you Need:

• 1c of of whole wheat flour or whole grain (which is better IMO!) 
• 2 tsp of baking powder
• 4 packets of stevia 
• 1/2 tsp of Himalayan salt
• 1 egg white
• 1c of milk (I used rice milk-- opt for a non dairy milk to keep it healthier)
• 2tbsp of coconut oil
• 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder w/ dash of cinnamon OR Cinnabon protein powder (order here) 
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract 
• syrup of your choice 

Instructions:

1. Combine dry ingredients: flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, protein powder- Mix well
2. Beat the egg white, milk, vanilla extract and coconut oil together
3. Add the two mixtures together, mix well. 
4. Heat the griddle or non stick pan (I always spray the pan regardless) 
5. Flip when sides brown and check the bottom frequently so it doesn't burn--with whole wheat flour its harder to tell because it's darker. So keep an eye on it. 
6. While pancakes cool off, mix together 1/2 scoop of protein powder (I'm telling ya, the Cinnabon protein powder is PERFECT for this) with 1/4 cup of syrup. I added another dash of cinnamon to it and then pour on top! 

It's THAT easy. 

ENJOY!
