These were my kids’ request but they are definitely a Kelly Family favorite.  The best part is that they have no idea all the healthy stuff that’s in them.  And with the added sweetness of the pumpkin, they really don’t even need syrup (but if you do want syrup, please use 100% maple 🙂 )

Simple, easy, healthy and crazy delicious.  I make these all year long because fortunately my kids have inherited my love for pumpkin even on a hot, summer day.  And I love adding protein to help keep you fuller longer.

I always make a double (or triple) batch of these and put one batch in the freezer.  They don’t take long to defrost and are perfect for those crazy, chaotic mornings when you have no time to cook.  I am sure all the moms out there are collectively nodding their heads.  You get it.

  1. hi,
    i find my kids (and i) don’t like the protein powder flavor. i have another recipe for protein pancakes which has cottage cheese (you’d NEVER know)…think i could use that here? any other switches i’d have to make if so?

    • You can definitely add cottage cheese or GREEK YOGURT of course 🙂 I would replace one of the cups of buttermilk for Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Let me know how they turn out!

    • Hi Dawn! Yes, it is one egg and 1 egg white. You can absolutely use another flour like wheat flour. I hope you like them!
