Pumpkin Spice Pancakes with Spiced Apples
 
 
Yield: 1 serving, 3 medium pancakes
Ingredients
  • 1 apple, cored and small diced
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup Birch Benders Protein Pancake Mix
  • ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon golden flaxseed meal
  • ¼ cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
Directions
  1. Spray a small skillet with coconut oil spray (or other oil spray of choice) and heat over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the diced apples. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice and the ground cinnamon over top. Let cook until soft, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat when done.
  2. While the apples are cooking, prepare the pancakes. In a bowl, lightly mix together the remaining ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, the pancake mix, pumpkin puree, water and flaxseed meal. Make sure to add one tablespoon of the water last to make sure it needs it. The dough should not be runny, but instead thick.
  3. Spray a medium skillet with coconut oil spray and heat over medium-high heat (I put the dial on my gas stove between medium-high and medium). Scoop the batter into the pan to make 3 pancakes, trying to not let them touch. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Top with the vanilla yogurt and the apples.
