Ingredients
Pancakes
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp. (45g) whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop (34g) Musclepharm cinnamon bun combat protein powder
- 1/2 tbsp. stevia or granulated erythritol (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- cinnamon to taste
- 1/4 cup (60g) canned pumpkin*
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other milk)
- 1 large whole egg
- 1/4 tsp. caramel extract
Caramel Apple Topping
- 1/2 medium apple (80g)
- 1/2 tbsp. (7g) coconut oil
- 3 tbsp. sugar free maple syrup (honey, agave, etc.)
- cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. caramel extract
Instructions
- Preheat pan or griddle to medium/high heat. Mix flour, protein powder, stevia, baking powder and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix pumpkin, egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry and gently mix until combined.
- Spray griddle with nonstick spray. Spoon batter onto griddle to make 3-4 even sized pancakes about 4 inches in diameter. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Once pancakes are cooked, leave pan on. Slice apple into 1/2 inch cubes. Add coconut oil to pan and let melt. Add apples and saute for a few minutes. Add maple syrup and cinnamon and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes or until apples are soft.
- Top pancakes with cinnamon apples, remaining syrup from the pan, and pieces of apple pie Krush protein bar.
Notes
* Pumpkin can be substituted for Greek yogurt, applesauce, or mashed banana. Applesauce would probably be the best if I would have had it on hand.
