There is nothing better on a cozy fall morning than a big batch of warm pumpkin pancakes. And, not only that, but pumpkin pancakes that are packed with protein to keep you feeling full and satisfied, all morning long. These 10 Minute Pumpkin Protein Pancakes truly come together in just a few minutes, and are a quick and easy breakfast recipe that the whole family will love. Plus, they're packed with 60 grams of protein, making them perfect for helping you reach your daily protein goals!
Ingredients
- ⅔ Cup Almond Flour
- 2 Eggs
- ⅓ Cup Pumpkin Purée
- ½ Cup Cottage Cheese
- 1 Teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 Scoop Protein Powder this is optional, but I love adding in a scoop of protein powder to bulk up the protein content of these pancakes!
Instructions
- To make these pancakes, start by adding all of the ingredients to a food processor: the almond flour, eggs, pumpkin purée, cottage cheese, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and protein powder (if using).
- Next, pulse the ingredients together until they're smooth. You might need to use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender, to ensure that the ingredients are fully combined. Repeat this step until the batter is smooth and even in consistency.
- Next, heat a pan on the stove over medium heat and spray it with oil or cooking spray. The key to making the perfect pancakes is to ensure that the pan is hot, but not too hot, otherwise they will burn.
- Add one scoop of batter to the pan, and allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes before flipping it to the other side. Repeat until all of the batter has been used!
- Once your pancakes are done, top them with butter and maple syrup, if desired, and enjoy! Store any leftovers in a ziplock back, in the fridge, for up to one week, or in the freezer for up to two months.
