Protein Pumpkin Pancakes

photoIf you love PUMPKIN or PANCAKES this recipe is for YOU!  After a long weekend out of town and not preparing my meals for the week I decided a quick meal was in order for dinner.  Breakfast for Dinner = Yummy!  I love cooking with protein powder and have been seeing so many pumpkin recipes that I decided to create my own.  These pancakes were a success!  Try out the recipe below and let me know if you loved them as much as I did.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup – Pure pumpkin canned
  • 1/2 cup – Egg whites
  • 1/4 cup – Plain instant oats
  • 1-2 scoops – Vanilla whey protein powder (My favorite Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey!)
  • Cinnamon to taste

Blend together and cook on skillet.  Makes 3-4 pancakes.  I topped mine off with fresh blueberries and Maple Grove Farms low calorie, sugar free syrup.

About Me
Cari Shoemate

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
