Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes

Pumpkin spice is one of the best flavors of the season. Unfortunately, many common pumpkin spice recipes are full of unhealthy sugars and other additives that make them unhealthy for frequent eating. We worked hard to find a healthy and tasty pumpkin spice recipe for you to enjoy all season long. 

Ingredients:

½ cup of vanilla flavored protein powder

1 cup of all-purpose gluten-free flour

⅓ cup ground pecans

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

½ tsp allspice

1 tsp dried ground ginger

1½ cups almond milk

1 cup pumpkin purée

2 Tbsp pure maple syrup

1 Tbsp coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

 –  Combine all dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. 

 –  In a large bowl mixed together all wet ingredients.

 – Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet and combine thoroughly.

 – Place 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (or your favorite cooking oil) in the bottom of a pan and bring to medium heat. 

 – Pour the pancake dough in circular shapes into the pan (use as much dough as needed to make the desired pancake size). Cook until bubbles begin to form in the dough and flip over. 

 – Cook the final side for another 2-3 minutes.
