Recipe by: Samuel Natvig
These Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes are an ideal fall-inspired breakfast or post-workout option, bursting with flavor and protein to energize your day! The blend of pumpkin purée and cinnamon provides a warm, cozy vibe, while the MuscleSport Lean Whey Pumpkin Spice flavor delivers the protein you need without compromising on taste.
Ingredients:
- 1 scoop MuscleSport Lean Whey Protein (Pumpkin Spice flavor)
- 230 g egg whites (approximately 25 g protein)
- 1 small scoop pumpkin purée
- 4 g baking soda
- Cinnamon to taste
- Sugar-free maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
-
In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients:
- 1 scoop of MuscleSport Lean Whey Protein (Pumpkin Spice flavor)
- 230 grams of egg whites (about 25 grams of protein)
- 1 small scoop of pumpkin purée (for added flavor and moisture)
- 4 grams of baking soda (to help the pancakes rise and fluff up)
- A generous sprinkle of cinnamon (adjust to your preference)
-
Blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined. Aim for a batter-like consistency; if it's too thick, add a little water or almond milk to thin it out.
-
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray if necessary.
-
Once the skillet is hot, pour the batter onto it to form pancakes. You can choose any size, but smaller pancakes usually cook more evenly.
-
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
-
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve. Top with sugar-free maple syrup or your favorite toppings, like fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of nuts for added crunch and flavor.
