I'm excited to bring you a whey protein pancake recipe with great macros! These Pumpkin Protein Pancakes are easy to make, and they are delicious and fluffy!
We don't have a ton of pancake recipes here because honestly, I'm not a breakfast food person. For the same nutrition and macros, I'd rather have cake for breakfast. :) But it's pumpkin everything season, and these Pumpkin Protein Pancakes did not disappoint!
I've also made these several times with a banana in place of the pumpkin, and they came out great, as well.
For this recipe, keep in mind that different brands of whey protein can take on different amounts of liquid, so you may need more liquid that we use here to get the same pancake batter consistency. (In that case add a tablespoon or two of water.)
However you make them, give these Pumpkin Protein Pancakes a try!
Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin puree 123g
- 2 large egg whites 66g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5ml
- ½ teaspoon baking powder 2g

- ¼ - ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice to taste
