High Protein Pumpkin Pancakes
I had a great weekend and went for a long 12 mile hike for 8.5 hour total. My calves are very tight and sore though today they already a bit better. Going downstairs are quite challenging but not as bad as Saturday when I couldn’t even squat down..LOL!
Anyway I made these yummy high protein ultra low carb pancakes on Sunday morning. It was supposed to be my upper body workout but I figured I might give my body a little rest after a brutal hike on Saturday. I promise I will post pictures from the hike when I get a chance.
In the meantime, enjoy this recipe 🙂

| Dietary | Gluten Free |
| Meal type | Breakfast |
Ingredients
- 1 Large egg yolk
- 2 Large egg whites
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 10g vanilla whey protein powder (about 9g protein) (Each protein powder measures differently so make sure to check the servings. It might be 1/3 scoop of protein powder but it should have 9g of protein for this recipe)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder or pumpkin spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon stevia (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (for cooking)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Mix all the dry ingredients (protein powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, baking powder, coconut flour & stevia) in a bowl. Set aside | |
| Step 2 | |
| Beat the egg whites and egg yolk until smooth. Mix in the puree pumpkin. Stir until incorporated. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Slowly sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient. Sifting helps to reduce the clumps in the batter. Mix until everything incorporates together | |
| Step 4 | |
| Heat the skillet in medium low heat with coconut oil. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Scoop the batter using 1/4 cup measurement or you can use 1/3 cup measurement to get 3 medium think size pancakes. Cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the batter looks firm enough to flip. Cook for another 3 minutes for the other side. | |
| Step 6 | |
| Topped with 1 Tbsp of butter or coconut butter to balance out the fat content with the protein. Sprinkle with more cinnamon powder and eat them up! | |
