Chocolate Pumpkin Protein Pancakes
Okay so in the maybe 4 hours since I posted this picture on instagram, I had about four different people ask me for the recipe! So I figured this merited a a blog post!
I LOVE protein pancakes! I've toyed around with a number of recipes and this is my favorite so far! I modified this recipe from one I found on pinterest from Lexi's Clean Kitchen! I didn't have a lot of her ingredients and I wanted to make it accesible for someone who didn't have a lot of organic ingredients or typical "health" food staples.
So here's my version:
Chocolate Pumpkin Protein Pancakes
So here's my version:
Chocolate Pumpkin Protein Pancakes
-1/3 cup pumpkin puree (original recipe called for homemade but I just used canned pumpkin from the store)
2 tbsp whole-wheat flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1.4 tsp pumpkin spice (if you have it--otherwise I used a few extra shakes of cinnamon, 1 dash of ginger, a big shake of nutmeg because I love nutmeg, and a shake of all spice)
1 heaping scoop of chocolate Shakeology (the original recipe called for vanilla protein powder, but I only had chocolate so I added that instead)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 tbsp honey
My batter turned out REALLY thick actually, so I would suggest thinning it maybe with a little bit of almond milk. It should spread easily into a circle, when you pour it into the pan (you know--you've made pancakes before).
I usually put about 1/4-1/3 cup of batter into the pan and then top it with chocolate chips! For these I used Nestles dark chocolate chips and put about 8 chocolate chips on top of each pancake!
I'll refine this recipe as I make it more, but I wanted to share now because it's JUST THAT GOOD!!!
Enjoy! :-)
