Ingredients
- 1 cup dry pancake mix (I used About Time Cinnamon Spice)
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 6 ounces plain or vanilla yogurt
- 1 scoop protein powder (I used Skoop B-Strong)
Instructions
- Mix 1 cup dry pancake mix, water, pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin in a bowl until well blended.
- Heat the griddle to 350 degrees.
- Pour the batter about 1/4 cup per pancake.
- Cook until bubbles stop forming and edges are cooked. About 2 minutes per side.
- While pancakes cook, mix combine the yogurt and protein powder and mix well.
- Remove pancakes from the griddle.
- Layer 2-3 pancakes (depending on size) with the protein yogurt.
- Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
The About Time pancake mix adds the perfect amount of sweetness and the cinnamon spice flavor. If you're using a different pancake mix you will need to add the sweetener of your choice and cinnamon.
Freezing and reheating pancakes:
- Cool the pancakes completely and arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place in the freezer and freeze at least 3 hours.
- Stack pancakes and seal tightly in a freezer bag (or container).
- To reheat using the microwave, arrange two pancakes in a stack on a microwave-safe plate. Heat on ‘High’ for approximately 70 seconds. Microwave ovens vary so check the temperature to avoid overheating.
- You can also reheat the pancakes in an oven. Pre heat the oven to 375. Arrange the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes.
