Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats*
  • 3 Tbsp protein powder or collagen peptides**
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 (15-oz) can pumpkin puree (about 1 ⅔ cups)
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 6 egg whites 1 cup + 1 Tbsp

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the oats to a blender and blend on high speed until a flour forms. It’s okay if the flour appears slightly grainy and isn’t completely smooth, but you do want to go for a flour-like texture.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and blend until completely smooth.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough avocado oil (or cooking oil of choice) to generously coat the surface, about 1 to 2 tablespoons.
  4. Once the skillet is hot, pour ¼ to ½ cup of batter onto the hot skillet (depending on the pancake size you’re going for. I do ⅓ cup per pancake). Allow it to cook until the sides firm up, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the pancake has cooked through, about another 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat for the remaining batter. Note: I typically cook 3 pancakes at a time on a 12-inch skillet.
  5. Serve pancakes with your favorite toppings, and enjoy! I find these to be incredible with butter and honey and/or Nuttzo. Sliced banana is also amazing!

Notes

  • *I use gluten-free sprouted oats or gluten-free glyphosate-free oats. Use your favorite brand!
  • **Collagen is not a complete protein, so if you’re looking for complete protein, stick with your favorite protein powder.
