Pumpkin Protein Pancake Ingredient Benefits
Oats- One of the healthiest grains we can consume. It is a good source of carbs and contains many B vitamins, to help fuel energy. The fiber content is good for gut health and can help decrease cholesterol.
Honey- Contains antioxidants, minerals, and enzymes. It is also shown that honey can soothe coughs, sore throats and treat wounds. Plus, it is super easy to add honey in your diet, and pairs well with yogurt, oats, baking, etc.
Eggs- A complete protein containing 8 grams protein per egg, similar to the amount of protein in 1 ounce of meat. Eggs are high in selenium, choline, and Vitamins B-12 and B-7. Whole eggs can be substituted with 3 egg whites 1/4 cup egg substitute.
Plain Greek Yogurt- Excellent source of protein and calcium, plus it provides a complete source of essential amino acids. I use plain greek yogurt and mix it with honey (a natural sweetener) for full health benefits!
Whole Milk- Rich in essential nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, vitamin A, and vitamin K. These nutrients are crucial for maintaining healthy bones, teeth, and overall immune function. The saturated fat in whole milk contains fatty acids that are important for brain development and function. These fatty acids play a role in maintaining healthy cell membranes and supporting cognitive health.
Pumpkin Puree- Pumpkin is an incredibly healthy and rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It also contains vitamin A, which helps with vision and strengthens you immune system.
Cinnamon- Cinnamon is a spice that’s been used for centuries. It is rich in antioxidants and may have Anti-inflammatory properties. Research shows that cinnamon can help improve diseases and lower blood sugar. There are two types of cinnamon: Ceylon and Cassia. Cassia can be harmful in large amounts so a good alternative would be Ceylon cinnamon.
