Holiday Spice Protein Pancakes Recipe

Breakfast

FacebookTweetPin
12 Nov

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).

Holiday Spice Protein Pancakes Recipe

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…

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.

    Almond butter and SF syrup! And on the weekends I add little mini dark chocolate chips for the win!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    I also love fruit on top but don’t like it cold, so I always heat it up. It’s really good that way!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
