Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole grain flour
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup light vanilla soy milk
  • 2 scoop Jay Robb’s vanilla egg white protein powder
  • 1/4 cup vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt about 1 small 5.3oz container; Voskos Honey Vanilla Bean is my favorite
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 Extra Large egg whites
  • 2 tablespoon butter melted but not bubbling hot
  • 2 tablespoon butter softened
  • 4 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 quarter-sized slices of candied ginger minced

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt and set aside.
  • Pour the soymilk and protein powder into a blender and mix for 30 seconds then pour into a medium bowl. Add the yogurt, pumpkin, melted butter and egg whites and mix well. 
  • Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients in the large bowl and stir just until moistened; Don’t over mix the batter (it's okay if there are some lumps - this helps the pancakes become lighter). 
  • Stir the minced ginger into the softened butter, mix well and set aside. 
  • Spray a heated griddle or large skillet with cooking spray. Pour the batter onto the heated griddle, using ¼ cup of batter for each pancake, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. 
  • Spread lightly with ginger butter and drizzle each pancake with ½ tablespoon of syrup.
