Yes - these might just be some of the healthiest pumpkin pancakes there are. And, for most of our competitive athletes (yes, even bodybuilding) you can probably eat these!
Healthiest Pumpkin Pancakes
Yep, these are even Prep friendly!
- 3 oz. Pumpkin puree
- 3 egg whites
- 1 scoop Protein Powder (I prefer vanilla or pumpkin flavored)
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Spice Seasoning (Be sure it is unsweetened)
- 1/8 tsp Baking powder
Add all ingredients together and mix. Cook on each side until you see bubbling.
When you are craving pumpkin spice but EVERYTHING says no. Be it your nutrition plan, your competition plan or maybe because you can't have gluten...these are simply the best.
And, you can choose the type of protein powder you use...make it vegan so its dairy free, or collagen, you can even go for a seasonal flavor.
Best served warm, but in all honesty, I ate these cold, right out of the ziploc baggies years ago when I was training for the NPC Nationals in November and everything around me was pumpkin! And...got the room, you can add grass fed butter and a little pure maple syrup (non-prep) or spray butter and a bit of sugar free syrup (prep). We'd love to see you post a pic with your favorites.
Haven't got pumpkin...3 ounces of cooked sweet potato work too! I suggest leaving the spice in...everything tastes better with pumpkin spice!
