Healthy Pumpkin Protein Pancakes
Healthy pumpkin protein pancakes are a nutritious and delicious breakfast option, perfect for a fall-inspired morning treat. Made with wholesome ingredients, they will fill you with energy all morning.
Ingredients
- ½ cup oat flour
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 small egg
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp Coconut oil, melted
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or a small amount of oil for the skillet
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, unsweetened almond milk, small egg, honey or maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Blend until you have a smooth, wet mixture.
- In another bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and pumpkin spice. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it's okay if there are a few lumps in the batter. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, usually about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve your healthy pumpkin protein pancakes with your favorite toppings. Options include fresh berries, sliced bananas, Greek yogurt, a drizzle of pure maple syrup, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts. Enjoy!
