Pumpkin recipe #2 of the season! Since it’s pancake Sunday, pumpkin is really the only way to go.  I’ve been out of town or at training for the last two weeks so I haven’t stayed on track very well 🙁  So these pancakes are my start of getting back on track – lots of fuel here for leg day! These pancakes are nice and moist but not dense – plus the healthy “cheesecake” topping makes you think you could be eating dessert for breakfast! 

I’ve been using up my Cellucor Cinnamon Swirl protein powder like crazy lately! I think I’m going to have to buy a full tub – it’s just so delicious and perfect for fall.  I’m thinking it might have been awesome to use the Cinnamon Swirl flavor in the cheesecake topping too! This is the same topping that I used on my Red Velvet Protein Pancake a while back.  It’s so good and hard to believe that it’s healthy.  Just some cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, almond milk, Truvia and protein powder.  Perfection 🙂

What’s not perfection is my ability to flip pancakes…seriously, do I need to go to a class for this or something?? I concentrate so hard on trying to flip them nicely, and then this crap happens.  One of them is halfway up the side of the pan and the other left pancake skid marks across the pan.  Oy.  Anywho…now I’m going to concentrate on listening to the Steelers play the Buccaneers since they’re not on TV out here!  Enjoy your pancakes!

    Absolutely loving the pumpkin vibes—perfect way to jump back on track! These sound like the ultimate leg day fuel—moist, packed with protein, and that cheesecake topping? Dessert-for-breakfast goals. I’ve been looking for new seasonal recipes to power through my mornings too—definitely giving this a go.
