    eating pumpkin protein pancakes

    i am a pancake person through and through. and i have to say, this pumpkin pancake recipe is a KEEPER!

    using pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and nutmeg you get fall flavors in every bite. there is a perfect amount pumpkin flavor without being too overwhelming. you will most likely have all of the ingredients needed to make these pancakes especially if fall season is in full force.

    if you're looking for a pancake recipe that is not only delicious but easy to make - this is for you! the batter takes little time to whip up and you're ready to flip those pancakes.

    ingredients used in this recipe

    • vegan protein powder
    • gluten-free flour
    • monk fruit sweetener
    • pumpkin puree
    • eggs
    • almond milk
    • pumpkin spice
    • cinnamon
    • vanilla extract
    • baking powder

    what protein powder should be used in this recipe?

    any protein powder will work in this recipe, so feel free to use what you have on hand!

    for this recipe i use the vanilla protein powder. this allows the pancakes to have the ultimate pumpkin flavor without any competing flavors.

    i have also tried this recipe with cinnamon protein powder and that was delicious!

    how to get the perfect pancake

    • spray your pan with nonstick
    • heat for pan over medium heat before adding the pancake batter
    • use a liquid measuring cup to pour the batter on the pan in perfect circles
    • do not flip pancakes until ready and bubbles have formed in the batter

    frequently asked questions

    are protein pancakes healthy?

    it depends on the recipe and ingredients used. this recipe uses the cleanest and highest quality ingredients to not only make the tastiest pancakes but ones that are good for you too. this recipe is a single-serving recipe so that you can adjust it for multiple people or enjoy it all for yourself with zero guilt!

    what makes pancakes fluffy?

    there are two key components that keep these pancakes as fluffy as can be, baking powder and resting time. the resting time allows the pancake batter thicken. let it sit for about 10 minutes prior to adding to the skillet.

    are protein pancakes a good source of protein?

    yes! these pancakes have 20 grams of protein in just one serving. that's as much as (if not more than) having a cup of greek yogurt or 2 eggs.

    can you sub protein powder for flour in pancakes?

    i would not suggest replacing the flour in this recipe for more protein powder. the flour adds structure to the batter to ultimately create the perfect pancake.

    will the protein powder change the texture of pancakes?

    this depends on the brand that you use. the 1st phorm protein powder that i use in this recipe does not change the texture. however, some protein powders may create a grainy batter. to play it safe and get the best result possible, i suggest using the kind i linked above!
