Source: superhealthykids
Pancakes are a big hit with kiddos.
So, why not add a fall twist?
Here's a deliciously healthy Pumpkin Protein Pancake recipe that'll have the little ones gobbling up breakfast in no time.
Not just delightful for their taste buds, but also packed with nutrition.
Why You’ll Love It
🎃 Cozy pumpkin spice flavor that kids and adults will love.
💪 High in protein thanks to Greek yogurt for sustained energy.
🥞 Thick, fluffy texture that’s perfect with your favorite toppings!
📝 Ingredients
1 cup flour (all-purpose or white whole wheat)
1 1/4 cup (8 fl oz) Greek yogurt, vanilla
2 large eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup canned pumpkin
Dash of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tsp pumpkin pie spice
👩🍳 Instructions
Whisk together all the ingredients until just combined. Remember, if the batter seems too thick, just add a splash of water or milk to get it to your preferred consistency.
Heat up that trusty pan or griddle on medium to low heat. Butter it up or use a spray, then pour out that batter using a 1/4 measuring cup.
Patience is key here, mama! These pumpkin pancakes take a bit longer to cook, but oh, the wait is worth it. Flip when the edges start looking done, and ensure they're thoroughly cooked.
Time to get creative with toppings! Berries, whipped cream, syrup – go wild!
