Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup (27g) oats
  • 1/2 scoop (13g) protein powder (I like IdealLean Caramel Mocha)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup egg whites from a carton
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée*
  • Optional: stevia, splash vanilla, pancake syrup, maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit

Instructions

  • Preheat large skillet or griddle and spray with cooking spray.
  • Grind oats, protein powder, baking soda, baking powder, spices and stevia (if using) in the blender until it’s flour-like. 
  • Add, to the blender, egg whites and pumpkin and blend for a few seconds.
  • Pour batter onto preheated griddle to make 4 pancakes; cook for about 5 minutes and until golden brown. Flip and continue to cook about 3 more minutes and until both sides are golden brown.
  • Serve immediately topped with your favorites and enjoy!

Notes

  • *If you're not feeling pumpkin, you can easily substitute 1/2 medium (60g) banana for the pumpkin.
  • **I serve my pancakes with Walden Farms Pancake Syrup. It's sugar and calorie free.
  • ***This recipe makes 4 good-sized pancakes that's filling for one adult. If you're making other breakfast foods or you're serving children, this could work as two servings.
  • ****Please note that nutritional information was calculated using IdealLean protein and depending on the brand of protein used, information could vary.
