Happy Sunday, loves!
It only seemed fitting that the first celebration of Pancake Sunday include more
pumpkin spice love…
And I thought, what better way to introduce it than with a combo that’s proven to be popular in the past? Based on my Peanut Butter Pumpkin Cake for One that was a TOTAL hit last year, these pancakes are FULL of peanut butter and pumpkin flavor, incredibly moist SEXY, and protein-PACKED!
Sing it with me now…
♫ Peanaaaaaaaaa-ut, peanut butter…and PUMPKIN! ♫
Please tell me I’m not the only one who knows the PB&J song! I worked at a daycare when I was in high school and we’d sing this with the kids all the time…and yeah, I still catch myself humming it whenever I’m whipping up a sandwich! 😉
But BACK to the PANCAKES!!
Seriously guys, I don’t know which was better, the actual ‘cakes or the fusion of flavors from the yogurt, cocoa, and peanut butter sauces! And with the crunch of peanuts and cacao nibs? Omg, I was in HEAVEN…for the whole 5 minutes these were on my plate! 😉
Absolute, melt-in-your-mouth PUMPKIN perfection!

And even though I haven’t tracked a single calorie since February, I couldn’t help but get a little curious with this recipe, so I plugged it into my old recipe analyzer

BAM…twenty FIVE grams of protein, baby!
Peanut flour is a wonderful thing, people…worth EVERY penny! I’ve been buying it for three years now and have never let myself run out! You can use it for baking, super human pancakes, sauces and spreads, or even mixed in oats/yogurt for a burst of peanut butter flavor with a butt-load of protein! I seriously can’t rave about this stuff any more!
