Protein Pumpkin Pancakes with Cinnamon Maple Sauce

Pancake time again! I know it’s not pumpkin season and everyone wants to have fresh lemony things, peeps, and jelly beans but really, it’s never not a good time for pumpkin.  I had some left over from making Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats, so obviously I had to make some pancakes.  Too bad, so sad 🙂

If you like flat flapjack style pancakes, leave out the baking powder. Sometimes I like big fluffy pancakes, sometimes I like the flat ones. My pancake mixture was a little too thick, I should have known to add more almond milk before I plopped it on the skillet (the recipe now says 2 tbsp of it, I only put in 1 tbsp).  So I ended up with really moist but a little dense pancakes.  Still delicious though!

I added some PB2 in the cinnamon maple sauce to help thicken it up a bit.  It gives a really good balance to the sweetness of the maple but there’s not enough that it tastes super peanut buttery.  Which is not a bad thing, but not what I was going for here.  Yum!
