Mini Pumpkin Pancakes for Autumn!

It's autumn and everybody seems to have a raging love-stick over pumpkins. So, here's an easy recipe for some healthy, protein-packed (14g/5 pancakes) pumpkin pancakes so that you can have something delicious to fuel your workout! Enjoy!

 What ya need:
  • 2 cups of steel cut oats
  • 6 egg whites
  • 2 eggs, whole
  • 1 cup of cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree (canned is ok)
  • 2 tablespoons of Stevia sweetener (or 3 tablespoons of honey)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • nonstick cooking spray

Ok, so-
Put all of the ingredients in a blender and blend for 2-3 minutes, or until fairly smooth. Lightly spray some nonstick cooking spray on a large skillet and place over medium heat. Carefully ladle or pour the batter into the skillet to make small pancakes. You should be able to fit 4 pancakes into a large skillet. Flip the pancakes in about 3 minutes, or when you can see the edges turn a golden brown. After 2 minutes, the pancakes should be done! Repeat this procedure until you're out of batter. This recipe should make about 30-35 small pancakes. Top with some nuts or some honey, if you desire.

Pour all but a small amount of the juices from the pan and ...
