I woke up to a gorgeous pink sunrise today! It was so nice to enjoy it on a slow, easy run (where I didn’t fall).
When I got back I really wanted a gingerbread cookie (the gingerbread house is still on my mind). But I didn’t have the ingredients or patience for that.
So, I compromised and made a sweet, healthy breakfast with a little ginger-spice kick.

Not that Ginger Spice though…
Holiday Spice Protein Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup flour (I used oat flour)
- 1/4 cup protein powder (I used vanilla)
- 1 egg
- 1/8 tsp each: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder
- 1 Tb honey or maple syrup
- milk to reach pancake batter thickness
Directions:
Mix ingredients. Add milk until batter is appropriate thickness. Cook on non-stick sprayed, hot skillet. Top with PB and syrup. Enjoy!
Question: What do put on your pancakes?
I know it’s ‘so HLB’ to put greek yogurt or fruit on p’cakes but I do NOT like when cold foods cool off my hot foods. I like it HOT.
I cannot believe I never thought to put peanut butter on pancakes. This is genius!
Now I want some pancakes too…. I like pb & syrup on my pancakes too. I don’t do the yogurt thing. But sometimes I add bananas on top too. I think I’ll be making this tonight & try to save them for breakfast then again they may be dinner.
I love to drizzle peanut butter on my pancakes!
I like hot apples and honey or syrup!
Almond butter and SF syrup! And on the weekends I add little mini dark chocolate chips for the win!
I am ALL about PB ON my pancakes and syrup on the side to dip 🙂
Warm maple syrup and butter, not the most healthy but very tasty!
Ok, these look amazing! I might need to re-think how I feel about pancakes. Up until now, they have been a guilty pleasure. This turns them into just pleasure!
Update: I just made these for breakfast. They were so good! I can’t believe I’ve never thought to put peanut butter on pancakes before. Definitely bookmarking this page.
I’m allergic to grains, so I haven’t had pancakes in a long time. But these sound so good I may try to make them with almond or coconut flour!
ahhhh. I’m done with my breakfast, but now you’ve got me wanting pancakes for DINNER! ((burp))
Looks yummy! I love peanut butter, honey and fruit. Not all of that on one pancake!
I want to go home and whip up some of these right now – except I want peanut butter, Nutella, AND strawberries. YUM!
These look so good! Sometimes when I’m trying to be a bit healthier or we’ve run out of syrup I pretend that honey works just as well. It really doesn’t 🙁
Peanut butter and applesauce on my oat pancakes. Though sometimes I’ll branch out and cut up an apple or drench them in apple syrup instead of adding the applesauce.
nutella + peanut butter! and bananas…maybe sprinkles?! ha depends on the occasion!
YUM! I’m with you, cold foods on hot foods are weird.
Almond butter and jelly. Amen.
Those look amazing! Got to try them! I like syrup or strawberries on my pancakes 😉
honey or maple syrup or PB or Nutella
🙂
I also love fruit on top but don’t like it cold, so I always heat it up. It’s really good that way!
I love fruit on pancakes! It is healthy and I love the natural sweetness!
Ha, when I do fruit on top I have to heat it up first – I like simmering frozen strawberries in a pot until they get all syrupy and then putting them on banana pancakes. So good.
Banana pat pancakes. With blue berries!
Oat, not pat. #damnyouautocorrect
My 2 1/2 year old and I both like our pancakes completely plain. Just the pancake and nothing else. Surprisingly she doesn’t even care if they are flavored pancakes or not. Sometimes I’ll put pumpkin, cinnamon, chocolate chips in them, but for the most part we both like them with nothing in them or on them. Boring I know.
chocolate chips and syrup #cleaneating i know
I’m such a Plain Jane—-plain pancakes, just syrup. My girls like chocolate chip pancakes with Cool Whip though, so I make that for them.
I sorry but what is HLB?
healthy living blogger. I was just teasing 🙂
LOVE THIS but will use other powder…!!!!! I posted about the recall too here: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm374392.htm?source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery#.UoKBNhQWKjM.facebook
I love to put applesauce on my pancakes. You can warm it up if you want to but I actually like mine cool.
Yum! Love gingerbread flavors
P.S. Not sure if you saw the info on the Vega Chai recall:

Oh no! Thanks for sharing.
That’s pretty much exactly how I make my protein pancakes but I sub half almond flour and add baking powder. I’m seriously obsessed with protein pancakes these days. I’ve blogged about them twice in a row! The obsession will only come to a halt because I’m going on vacation tomorrow!
I’m a syrup person all the way! Sometimes in the summer I like a fruit topping to change it up
YOU ARE SO HLB.
Busted.
