Easy Pumpkin Protein Pancakes
Tis’ the season for all things Pumpkin Spice, am I right!? I was determined to figure out a lightened up, high protein, but most importantly high volume and delicious version of pumpkin pancakes, and these totally delivered! If you’ve made my Protein Packed Blueberry Pancakes you will LOVE these!
If you are following Weight Watchers, this ENTIRE recipe is only 4 points! I was able to make 3 huge pancakes!
Best of all, it only takes a handful of ingredients, and comes together in just a few minutes!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
These are the ingredients you will need to make this delicious, protein packed, Pumpkin Pancakes!
- 1/4 cup cup Pumpkin Kodiak cakes you can use regular Kodiak and add pumpkin pie spice if needed (2 WW points)
- 1 egg
- 1 packet of Better Oats 100 calorie pack oatmeal– (2 WW points) I get these at Target, Walmart, or I buy them on amazon here
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 container of Chobani Pumpkin Spice zero sugar yogurt (disclaimer, these scan as 1 point but I have never counted it since it is just non fat greek yogurt with some seasonings)
- A Blender or Bullet to mix the ingredients together
You can use regular non fat greek yogurt in place of the pumpkin pie spice flavored one, but I would add a little extra pumpkin pie spice to balance out the flavor.
HOW TO MAKE THESE PROTEIN PACKED PUMPKIN PANCAKES:
You don’t need a lot to make these delicious, protein packed, pumpkin spice pancakes, The only kitchen tool you will be using is some sort of blender. I personally use a Ninja, but any blender or bullet will do! Add all of the ingredients above to the blender, and mix for about 30 seconds until smooth. I sometimes like to let the batter sit for 5 minutes or so to let it thicken, but you can make them right away if you’re in a rush. Pre-heat a skillet or griddle to medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour the pancake batter into the pan, and you can make the size you prefer. Sometimes I do mini, but in this case I did 3 big pancakes! ALL of these pancakes were only 4 Weight Watchers points!!
If you want to spend a few extra points or calories, these go GREAT with some chocolate chips! I also love to add some sliced zero point banana to my plate for extra fiber and zero WW points!
Hope you enjoy!
