Pumpkin Protein Pancakes
Sometimes you just want pancakes. But the typical versions leave a lot to be desired… from highly processed flour, a complete lack of protein, and then a sugar bomb in the form of syrup on top! This version fills in all of those gaps and transforms them into SWOLE CAKES by adding protein and vegetables (pumpkin) while eliminating a majority of the added sugar.
Recipe
INGREDIENTS
SWOLE VERSION
- Kodiak Power Cakes Mix – 1 Cup

- Butter, Oil, etc

MINI-SWOLE VERSION
Admittedly, the Swole Version makes a lot. If you don’t need that much, simply divide the numbers in half, except for the egg (still use 1) and the Pumpkin Pie Spice (still use a lot).
