Servings: 2 pancakes with frosting
Calories: 170kcal
Ingredients
Pancakes
- 1/2 C 120g Canned Pumpkin
- 1 scoop 32g Protein Powder, vanilla
- 1/2 Tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 3/8 C 92g Liquid Egg Whites, or 2 whole egg whites
Frosting
- 2 oz Fat Free Cream Cheese room temp or softened
- 1/2 scoop 16g Protein Powder, vanilla
- 1/2 tsp Clear Imitation Vanilla
- 1/2-1 Tbsp Stevia or Low Calorie Sweetener to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray over medium heat.
- Mix the canned pumpkin, egg whites, 1 scoop of protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, and sweetener in a large bowl, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour your batter into the pan or griddle in two circles. Cook time may vary but 90-120 seconds per side should do the trick.
- While your pancakes cook, mix the cream cheese, ½ scoop of protein powder, and sweetener in a bowl or food processor. Top your finished pancake with the frosting and enjoy!
Notes
For a frosting: Mix together 1 scoop (30g) Vanilla Protein Powder, 3 Tbsp (45mL) Fat-Free Evaporated Milk, and 1 Tbsp Swerve Confectioners or Zero-Calorie Sweetener

- Pancakes only: 220 calories, 36g protein, 14g carbs, 1g fat
- You could also make one large pancake instead of two, and you could easily double or triple the recipe to make protein pancakes in bulk. If you prep these in bulk, I recommend leaving the frosting off the pancakes until you're ready to eat them.
- If you like sweeter pancakes, you can add a little bit of stevia or sweetener to the pancake batter.
