I know I’ve never added any of my actual recipes on here (or pictures of food I’ve prepared on my own for that matter; I’ve been told on more than one account that I need to sharpen my food presentation skills, haha…I’ll leave that to the Food Network and show you what really goes down in the kitchen…it may not always be pretty, but it DOES taste delicious, especially for high protein treats that I love to make!) but today’s protein pancake took the protein pancake yum factor up a notch, so I just HAD to share with you all!
For those of you that follow along with any of my fitness adventures on Twitter or my Facebook page, www.facebook.com/fitnessjewelltraining, you’ll likely know that I L-O-V-E protein pancakes and other high protein treats that taste like cheats! WELL, ’tis the season for pumpkins this and pumpkin that (I’ve been tempted a time or two myself by the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that seem to be on display. EVERYWHERE!) so here’s my healthy, high protein solution to the madness-
Cinnamon Pumpkin Vanilla Creme PROTEIN PANCAKES! Yum- protein pancakes for anytime of the day- no longer reserved just for breakfast- can even be enjoyed as a healthy dessert! Recipe makes one GIGANTIC protein pancake:
1 scoop Cellucor Sports Nutrition Super Sport Vanilla Creme Protein Powder
1/3 cup oats
1/4 cup pumpkin
1/2 cup egg whites
1/2-teaspoon of cinnamon
Mix and prepare to make quite possibly the world’s largest protein pancake EVER : )
Feel free to top with a sugar free syrup (my favorite is Walden Farms- sugar free AND CALORIE FREE goodness that I’m convinced was created solely to curb my sweet tooth), fruit of your choice (a few banana slices would make a good addition), or even just on its own, it’s delicious! Enjoy! : )
