Paleo Pumpkin Protein Pancakes
Try saying that 3x fast! LOL! I admit I go crazy during pumpkin season but this fruit is available all year round so I am always looking for new ways to consume it. I made these pumpkin energy bites earlier in the week and had some pumpkin leftover so I thought perfect, pumpkin pancakes!
I figured pancakes because you always get more but then I decided to dust off my waffle maker and made those instead! Yes, it looks like dessert, that is how I like my food mostly! But don't be fooled as it is packed with vitamins from the pumpkin (hello vitamin A!) plus protein from Aloha Protein Powder which is organic, soy free, stevia free & vegan and tastes great! I went with chocolate, hence why my waffles look darker.
I could seriously just eat them right from the waffle maker and call it a day! But....I do love my topping so I controlled myself while I added them on. The secret to not missing syrup? Melt frozen berries and pour over waffles - yum! Add creamy nut butter, cinnamon, and honey drizzle and you got yourself a delicious breakfast! Perfect for the weekend treat!
Does breakfast get any better than this!? Knowing that I have frozen my leftovers makes me giddy for next weekend already! Whether you make pancakes or waffles this is a delicious treat to definitely try out for weekend brunch, or anytime really!
