Key Ingredients:
Zero Sugar Vanilla Protein Powder
My zero sugar Vanilla Protein Powder adds a hint of sweetness without any sugar by using 100% monk fruit (no sugar alcohols or stevia!).
Plus, we only use 100% whey protein isolate which is the lowest lactose form of whey protein.

Pumpkin Puree
You can buy premade canned pumpkin puree or you can make it yourself if you have plenty of pumpkins on hand. I prefer canned to keep my morning routine simple. Pumpkin puree sneaks in some fiber as well as beta carotene and vitamin C.
Skyr
My preferred yogurt! Skyr is the highest protein yogurt, making it an excellent choice for preventing hunger and for helping with a fat loss goal. Just make sure to opt for full-fat and preferably pasture-raised to maximize the vitamin K2 and satiety benefits.
Pumpkin Seeds
One tablespoon of pumpkin seeds provides a decent amount of magnesium which is important for preventing muscle cramps and aiding in high quality sleep.
Cacao Nibs
Cacao nibs is the most “raw” form of chocolate. It’s unsweetened, a great source of satiating fat and naturally rich in fiber.
Pumpkin Protein Pancakes with Chocolate Chips
Ingredients
Pancake
- 2 scoops Autumn's Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1/2 banana mashed
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tablespoons zero added sugar chocolate chips I like the brand Lily's
- coconut or avocado oil for greasing
Toppings
- 1/4 cup skyr or greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Add the banana, pumpkin and egg to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Stir in the protein powder and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
- Heat a greased griddle or skillet to medium. Make 4-5 small pancakes (this makes it much easier to flip). Top with a few chocolate chips per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Don't overcook them, otherwise the pancakes will be dry. You want them to be lightly browned, not dark.
- While the pancakes cook, stir the yogurt with the cacao powder to make a chocolate-y yogurt.
- Place the pancakes on a plate and top with the yogurt mixture, almond butter and pumpkin seeds. Enjoy!
