Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes

Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes


  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Diet: Gluten-Free, High-Protein

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oat flour (blended rolled oats)
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Cooking spray or a small amount of coconut oil for the pan

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and honey. Whisk until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
  4. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid, resulting in a fluffier pancake.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or coconut oil.
  6. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes until you see small bubbles forming on the edges and the surface.
  8. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Repeat with the remaining batter and serve warm.
