Can you tell I like Pumpkin!!!! LOL I figured if I'm buying a can then I better have a few ways to use it all up!

Pumpkin Pancakes
 
1 Scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/2 tsp Cinnamon (Or use 1/4 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice, 1/4 tsp Cinnamon & 1/8 tsp Nutmeg)
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar
1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 Egg Whites
1/2 Cup Old Fashioned Oats (Gluten Free)
2 tbsp Ground Flax Seed
1/2 Cup Water + 2 tbsp water
4-5 tsp Stevia

1. Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth or mixed well.
2. Spray Pan and heat non-stick skillet or griddle to medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Flip pancakes when bubbles start to appear and edges look cooked. Cook other side until golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy with Sugar Free Pancake Syrup. 
3. Serving Size: 3 Pancakes Per Serving
(Thanks Mitzy!)

Think I'll be keeping my protein high today and focusing on getting enough water in (which I did not do yesterday). I really don't want to do another correction day right now. I seem to be collecting lots of recipes lately and I'm so behind in posting them that I'll be putting lots here over the next few weeks. I'll try to put some links to these on my Recipe page (poor page is so neglected!). I mostly gather them from blogs and, I'm sorry, I can't  always find who first created them. If I find more than 1 version then it is fair game for sharing!!! (This is called "common knowledge" in the copyright world) So today's share is a dessert! One blogger said "I fiddled with the recipe slightly - I mixed all the ingredients and put 3/4 of the batter into the pan and then added 1 rounded Tbl of Cocoa (~15 calories) and 2 Tbl of stevia to the remaining batter.  Then I marbled it into the brownie mix in the pan." (Thanks for the tip Sharon!)  

Almond Butter Pumpkin Brownies

1 egg - 70
1cup Almond Butter -1583
1/2 cup stevia
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup of pumpkin or squash - 105
Total - 1758
Beat egg, add almond butter and stevia till smooth. Add baking soda and pumpkin or squash. Grease pan with
coconut oil and bake at 350 for 25 to 30 min. Best to use crunchy almond butter.

I'll definitely use the cocoa too! This is dessert tonight! This is M1W2 and should be treated as a caution food because of the almond butter. Have a great day everyone!
Cheers!
