I love pumpkin yes I do, I love pumpkin that is true. And with Fall in full swing, EVERYONE loves pumpkin this time of year. Although, my love for pumpkin extends through the season, and is a year round infatuation, which is why this recipe was actually created in the spring, and I have been waiting to share it with all of you.
IT'S SO FLUFFY It combines two of my favorite things:
pumpkin and protein
Created on accident, this recipe was so delicious,
I almost thought about giving up my overnight oats and becoming the pancake princess.
Pumpkin Pie Protein Pancakes
Dry Ingredients
1/3 Cup Oat Flour (grind up GF oats)
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder*
Pumpkin Pie Spice to taste
Cinnamon to taste
Wet Ingredients
1 Egg
1/4 Cup Pumpkin Puree
1/4 Cup Lactaid (or milk variety of your choice)
If you do not have oat flour, simply use a blender/food processor/grinder to turn GF Oats into Oat Flour
1. Mix wet ingredients together in a bowl
2. Mix in dry ingredients
3. Mix ingredients together well (the batter may still look grainy, but I promise they come out fluffy!)
4. Spray a skillet/pan with oil
5. Cook pancakes on low heat
*I used Vanilla Protein powder BUT Cinnamon or Pumpkin Pie Flavor would be wondrous!*
