Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes Recipe

Recipe by: Samuel Natvig

These Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes are a perfect fall-inspired breakfast or post-workout meal, packed with flavor and protein to fuel your day! The combination of pumpkin purée and cinnamon adds a cozy touch, while the MuscleSport Lean Whey Pumpkin Spice flavor ensures you’re getting the protein you need without sacrificing taste.

Ingredients:

• 1 scoop MuscleSport Lean Whey Protein (Pumpkin Spice flavor)
• 230 g egg whites (about 25g protein)
• 1 small scoop pumpkin purée
• 4 g baking soda
• Cinnamon to taste
• Sugar-free maple syrup (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. 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 (equivalent to about 25 grams of protein)
   • 1 small scoop of pumpkin purée (for extra pumpkin flavor and moisture)
   • 4 grams of baking soda (to help the pancakes rise and become fluffy)
   • A generous sprinkle of cinnamon (adjust according to your taste preferences)

2. Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well combined. You want a batter consistency, so if it's too thick, you can add a little water or almond milk to thin it out slightly.

3. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray if needed.

4. Once the skillet is heated, pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. You can make them any size you prefer, but smaller pancakes tend to cook more evenly.

5. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start forming on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

6. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and plate them up. Top with sugar-free maple syrup or your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of nuts for added crunch and flavor.
