Protein Pumpkin Pancakes
Oh yes I did!!!! I created a Fall inspired pancake that I can enjoy guilt-free!
I shared with you a few of my secret pancake recipes (links below photos):

This time around, pumpkin is my focus. I put pumpkin pie spice in everything. My coffee grounds. My plain Greek yogurt. I even top these pancakes with either light whipped topping and pumpkin pie spice, or the plain Greek yogurt with the spice and sweetener.
It’s awesome to feel like you are indulging in some of the pumpkin mania sweet treat without feeling badly about having done so. I think you’re going to love these!
