Paleo Pumpkin Protein Pancakes for One

Yes, all the p’s. It was pumpkin season and you know how much I love pancakes, and lately collagen!

After finally dragging myself out of bed after a sleepy fall weekend morning, the idea of paleo pancakes hit me. What better way to use up my canned pumpkin and make something I could really look forward to?! After recipe hunting for a bit based on what I had on hand, I decided to work off of Paleo Grubs as a base recipe. I was definitely inspired by the stack. I added in collagen peptides as I have been doing to most of my baked goods + coffee lately for a protein boost, and because I really feel the difference in how my hair, nails and skin look!

Each of these ingredient makes these pancakes delicious! You can get pumpkin in a can just about any time of the year, and these are great for any type of cozy morning – winter or fall. I recently started using fresh nutmeg and definitely recommend it if you have it on hand – the freshness really makes a difference. I just use my citrus zester! Maybe I’ll get a fancy nutmeg grinder one day when I have real cabinet space…

Recipe type: Breakfast

Serves: 4 small pancakes

Ingredients

For the pancakes:

• ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
• 1 egg
• 2 Tbsp. almond flour
• ½ Tbsp. coconut flour
• 1 scoop Vital Proteins Collagen
• Dash of cinnamon
• Dash of nutmeg
• Handful of walnuts
• Coconut oil

Toppings:

• Maple syrup
• Hemp seeds
• Nut butter
• ...possibilities are endless

Instructions

1. Beat egg and pumpkin in a small bowl.Add in the dry ingredients and any additions such as raisins or walnuts.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a bit of coconut oil.
3. Add batter to pan - I used about 2 tablespoons. The thicker the pancakes, the longer they will take.
4. Cook until the surface of the pancake has some bubbles, is golden brown to your liking, and has enough structure to flip. Flip and cook the other side 2-3 more minutes (again, depending on thickness).
5. Stack them up and layer on the toppings!
