Calories per serving: 80 calories, 7 g protein each

ingredients

• 1 cup egg whites
• 3/4 cup pumpkin
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1 scoop vanilla Shakeology
• 2 tbsp organic milled flax
• 2 tbsp organic honey (or splenda/stevia)
• 1/8 tsp ginger
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

instructions

1. stir in/dissolve the pumpkin into the egg whites & add the honey
2. mix dry ingredients separately & add to the wet ingredients
3. heat pan or griddle on medium low heat (4 out of 10) and coat with organic coconut oil or coconut oil spray
4. using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto your cooking surface
5. once it bubbles up, use a spatula to flip it over & cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 min on the other side

Notes

a griddle is ideal, but when i cook these individually in a pan, i put the pancakes on a piece of foil in the oven on warm as soon as each one is finished so they are all hot & fresh when i'm ready to eat them!
