I’ve finally jumped on the Pinterest train and I’m seeing so many pumpkin flavored sweets it’s killing me! Re-pin. Re-pin. Re-pin. I feel myself gaining weight pin by pin.
These High Protein Pumpkin Pancakes are one way to enjoy the taste of pumpkin this season without busting the waist-line.
Of course they don’t compare to these, this, or these. But give them a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or even peanut butter, and they are a tasty protein filled breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can even make them ahead, freeze them, and just pop ’em in the toaster for a quick nutritious meal.
I even sent some with my husband today for an afternoon snack.
The batter will be pretty thick at first so you’ll want to thin it out by adding a little bit of milk or water to the consistency you like.
You can see I went for a thinner, crepe like pancake.

You’re killing me with all of the pumpkin recipes! Haha. These sound amazing. (I need to get on Pintrest, too.)
Can’t wait to try these. They look and sound delicious
This may be a dumb question but what is pumpkin puree? Is it just blended canned pumpkin? Or do you add something to it?
@ Erin,
You just want to buy the can of Pure Pupmkin, not the pumpkin pie mix!
What kind of oats? Just regular, instant, steel cut?! So many oat choices! lol
@ Ashley:I used regular rolled oats!
