Ingredients (This recipe makes approximately 8 pancakes)

  • 3 large eggs
  • 120g pumpkin puree
  • 100g porridge oats
  • 1 scoop  Boditronics vanilla flavour Express Whey
  • 2tsp sucralose based sweetener
  • 35g wholemeal flour
  • 1 tbs baking powder
  • 200ml cashew milk
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions

  1. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium /medium to high heat.
  2. To a blender, add the ingredients and blend until pureed and smooth, 
  3. Spray the frying pan with your choice of spray oil.
  4. Scoop a spoonful of the the mixture into the frying pan.
  5. Using a spoon, slightly smooth the mixture into a larger circle if it is too thick for you.
  6. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form and the batter becomes more opaque - approximately 2-3 minutes - then flip and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes. You may want to cook the opposite side of these for a bit longer than you would traditional pancakes as these are more dense.
  7. Serve with syrup and a sprinkle of almonds (or your favourite nuts) and maybe some chocolate sauce.
