Pumpkin Protein Pancakes

 

I've been really into pancakes since I made chocolate chip pancakes with coconut flour the other day..... So today I made Pumpkin protein pancakes with Almond Meal!  They are 'mostly' Paleo Friendly (I used Whey protein) - but they are so deeelish!!

 

You'll need:

2 scoops Vanilla Protein (I use Body Fortress)

1 cup egg whites (I used liquid egg whites - Great Value)

3/4 cup canned pumpkin

1/2 cup almond meal/flour

1/2 tsp stevia powder

1/8 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt (I used salt substitute)

 

Mix egg whites & pumpkin. 

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients, then add egg white/pumpkin mixture to dry ingredients.  Mix well.

Heat a skillet or frying pan on med-low heat.  I cooked my pancakes using coconut oil to grease the pan. 

about 1/3 cup batter = 1 pancake

Cook for about a minute on bottom, then flip, and cook for another minute or so.

 

Makes 7 pancakes.
