Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup organic pumpkin (~200 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- Sauce: 1 cup berry medley (frozen), 1 teaspoon Lakanto sweetener, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- In a large bowl whisk 4 egg whites (or whole eggs) until partially fluffy.
- Add 1 cup pumpkin puree and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
- Add 1/4 cup coconut flour, 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and a pinch of salt. Continue whisking until batter is smooth and thick.
- Heat a non-stick skillet with coconut oil spray (or 1/2 tsp butter) over medium heat. Using a 1/4 scoop measurer, ladle pancakes and flatten the tops with your finger or spatula (3 medium-sized pancakes fit on my skillet).
- Cook for about 4 minutes on each side. Work in 2 batches. (My batch made 6 medium-sized pancakes).
Triple Berry Sauce:
- In a small saucepan add 1 cup frozen berries, 1 tsp Lakanto monk fruit sweetener and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until berries are tender and juicy and sauce has thickened, approx 6-8 minutes.
- Keep warm while you make the pancakes.
Suggestions:
- Egg whites can be swapped for whole eggs or a mixture of both.
- Pumpkin can be swapped for ripe mashed banana, cooked sweet potato or butternut squash.
- Pumpkin spice can be swapped for just cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Triple Berry sauce can be swapped for just one berry of choice. Frozen recommended.
- Lakanto monk fruit sweetener can be swapped for honey, maple syrup or stevia.
- For more protein – simply add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder or collagen powder.
