…Infinite Life Fitness Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancake…

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes_ILF

Tis the season to enjoy things that taste like pumpkin!
Here is yet another great recipe for those who would like to have pumpkin for breakfast.  I will have to admit… This recipe makes the pumpkin flavor quite mild.  The banana and cinnamon are the first things that I initially taste, and then there is a slight pumpkin after taste.  If you would like more of a pumpkin kick I would suggest adding pumpkin spice to your mixture before you make the pancake.

Here is the recipe:

1 packet of protein (pumpkin protein meal replacement shake, if possible). OR 1 scoop of your own whey protein (to get it to taste like pumpkin if you use another flavor of protein powder other than the pumpkin flavored powder you will have to add pumpkin spice and pumpkin puree)

1 whole small banana

2 egg whites

1 tsp of cinnamon

Directions:

Mix all ingredients into a bowl like regular pancake mix, and cook like you would a regular pancake.

You can get creative and add nuts, fruit, berries, and even other spices.  You will want to be careful with what you do add to the mixture so that you do not change the texture and overall flavor of the pancake.  You can change it up however you would like!  I like to add Walden’s Farm Syrup to my pancakes OR you can try 1 tablespoon of fat free whip topping.
