pretty sure the best thing about fall is pumpkin. period.
pumpkin decorations, carving pumpkins, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pie, and of course…
paleo pumpkin protein pancakes. duh!
i almost gave up on pumpkin last week when it utterly failed me in an attempt to make some (non-paleo) pumpkin pancakes. i always try to save a failing recipe (sometimes those end up being my best!) so muffins sounded like a fantastic change of direction for my super thick ‘pancake’ batter. when my husband (who will eat just about anything) took one bite of the muffin and immediately plopped it right back down on the counter top, i knew it was a disaster.
so…the pumpkin bug crept up on me again this week and i had to try again! this time i decided to get rid of the greek yogurt and go paleo…don’t hate me, but i added a scoop of clean egg white protein powder and a dash of baking soda! once you try these, i’m sure you’ll be glad i did! :)
i would totally challenge ihop’s seasonal pancakes with this healthy recipe. they turned out fluffy and delicious with only 80 calories and 7 grams of protein each! seriously, no syrup even needed!
this time around, not only did my husband shovel an entire pancake into his mouth in two bites, but he then asked how long he had to wait for me to take a picture of it before he could eat the rest! :)
nom. nom. nom.
ingredients
- 1 cup egg whites
- 3/4 cup pumpkin
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 scoop vanilla egg white protein powder (or whatever vanilla protein powder your little heart desires if you are not strictly paleo)
- 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
- stir in/dissolve the pumpkin into the egg whites & add the honey
- mix dry ingredients separately & add to the wet ingredients
- heat pan or griddle on medium low heat (4 out of 10) and coat with organic coconut oil or coconut oil spray
- using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto your cooking surface
- 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!
Hi, I loved this recipe! I am trying to figure out the nutritional info in a calorie calculator… how many servings is this recipe supposed to produce! Thank you for the great post!
thanks so much! these are one of my favorites! the recipe produces 10 pancakes, yielding 7 g of protein each…when made with agave, they are 80 calories each. when made with stevia, they are 68 calories each.
thanks for following! :)

thanks @diydraw for featuring these pancakes on her latest post! check out the rest of the fun and festive halloween recipes selected here! :)
I just made these for dinner and they were good! I liked the flavor a lot!
any ideas for this recipe without the protein powder? Can I just omit it from the recipe and it will turn out ok?
most likely, yes, just omitting it would be fine. i would maybe add it a little extra almond flour to make sure the consistency doesn’t get too watery! :)
