Hello October! So happy to meet you again. I think I say this every season change, but I’m really feelin Fall right now. Today even feels like Fall 🍂 What better way to kick off the first day of October, than with Pumpkin Protein Pancakes?
I snapped this photo in a downtown park in Portland yesterday. We hit Oregon at the most perfect timing to see all the colors of fall. I can’t get enough of this color palette right now.
About the recipe…..
I don’t do pumpkin spiced anything. Especially the ever so trendy lattes. But I do like some pumpkin in my life. The real stuff though. I kept seeing recipes pop up for pumpkin pancakes so I decided to put my own little spin on them. Not too pumpkiny. Not too sweet. Just how I like it. Technically you can sweeten them up as much as you’d like with all the toppings.
I should probably state that I have never, in my life made a pretty pancake lol. How do peeps get them so perfect? What’s the trick?
But what I can promise, is that these pancakes are delicious. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Ha.
And I’m trying to find ways to use up all my Vital Proteins Collagen powder. (I’m not a fan). Picked up the new one Trader Joe’s has on the shelves and I’m excited to give it a go. Fingers crossed it’s actually “tasteless”
Let me know if you give this recipe a whirl. Makes my day when I get the tag, message or text saying you tried out an xoxostacyb recipe 🧡

Pumpkin Protein Pancakes
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 scoop collagen powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup almond milk (any milk will do the trick)
Toppings:
- slivered almonds
- dark chocolate, chopped
- maple syrup
Here’s what you’ll do:
To your blender add all ingredients (except toppings)
Puree until smooth.
Heat a large pan to medium heat. Add a little butter or coconut oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter. Using the back of a spoon smooth out the top. Sprinkle the top with some dark chocolate pieces.
Once bubbles begin to form (about 3 minutes) Flip pancakes and cook for 3 more minutes. They take a little longer than regular pancakes since they are so dense.
Drizzle with maple syrup and top with almonds. If you have any leftover chocolate…sprinkle that too!
Enjoy!
Have a great Monday friends. After an amazing long weekend in Oregon, we flew home in the middle of the night and I was able to see Bay off to school this morning. So if you’re looking for me, I’ll be hibernating the day away!
