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 | |

| Step 2 | |
| Beat the egg whites and egg yolk until smooth. Mix in the puree pumpkin. Stir until incorporated. | |
| Step 3 | |

| Step 5 | |
