Healthy Apple Pecan Pancakes
Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes
Pancake Ingredients:
> 4 TBSP Tropeaka Lean Vanilla Protein
> 1/4 cup Bob's Redmill Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour
> 1 tsp baking powder
> A pinch of Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
> 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
> 1/2 cup egg whites
> 3 TBSP unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
> 1 TBSP pure maple syrup
> 1 TBSP canned pumpkin
> 1 tsp vanilla extract
> Coconut oil spray
Toppings:
> 1/4 of a small Honey Crisp Apple
> Optional spices you can add to your apples: cinnamon, ginger, ground nutmeg, & allspice (I use a little of them all)
> 1/2 tsp pure maple syrup
> CocoJune Vanilla Chamomile coconut yogurt or yogurt of your choice
Instructions:
1. Add all the dry pancake ingredients to a bowl. Then add the liquid ingredients on top and whisk together until smooth. Depending on your protein powder you might want to add a little more or less almond milk to create the right consistency. You want it to be thick but easy to put out of a bowl. This recipe will make 3 medium-sized pancakes.
2. Spray the cooking pan with coconut oil spray and cook pancakes on low to medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
3. While the pancakes cut up your apples into small cubes, spray a small pan with coconut oil spray and add apples to the pan. Cook on medium heat and sprinkle with your desired spices. Cook for 3-5 minutes and then drizzle the apples with the 1/2 tsp pure maple syrup to caramelize the apples a little.
4. Once pancakes and apples are done cooking add pancakes to a plate. Top the pancakes with 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons of CocoJune Vanilla Chamomile coconut yogurt, top with cooked apples, and sprinkle with a little more pumpkin pie spice!
5. Enjoy!
