PUMPKIN SPICE PROTEIN PANCAKES

Pumpkin spice and butter pecan... fall flavors join forces in these Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes. Even though these flapjacks taste like dessert, they have no added sugar! They are also gluten free and packed with protein. We love these topped with pecans, sugar free maple syrup, and light whipped cream. 

NOTES: We used a sweetener that measures like sugar. Be sure to check your sweetener's conversion chart and adjust accordingly! Feel free to swap the coconut flour for twice as much gluten free flour. You can also substitute all purpose or fine oat flour for the gluten free flour. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can substitute cinnamon.
