Protein Pumpkin Pancakes//THM-Friendly E, Low Fat, Sugar Free, High Protein Breakfast

My THM-Friendly recipe for Protein Pumpkin Pancakes is an Energizing (carb) meal that’s high protein, low fat, and sugar free. I love figuring out and sharing cheap and easy Trim Healthy Mama friendly recipes. My goal is to make it easy to eat healthy for an affordable price and in a delicious way. This Protein Pumpkin Pancake Recipe is a perfect way to have an Autumn-y meal while crushing your protein goals! It has about 30g of protein in it.

Health Benefits of the Protein Pumpkin Pancake

  • It meets an ideal protein goal of 25g+. Protein is essential because it’s what helps your body keep and build muscle. Without muscle, your body can’t burn fat, and overall health quickly goes downhill. The fact that it contains this much protein makes it a Trim Healthy Mama Friendly Recipe that’s up-to-date with the plan’s new Wisdom ways.
  • It’s a carb meal, yay! Good, healthy carbs are so important. Especially for us women. Ideally, half or more of our meals should contain good carbs (so not white bread or sugar, no, no, no).
  • Energy boost for breakfast. Good carbs are especially a good way to start your day! They give you that nice little burst of energy.

Easy Peach Cobbler Hack//THM-friendly E, High-protein, Sugar-free, Low-fat

My THM-friendly peach cobbler hack isn’t so much a new recipe as it is a combination of two recipes in a new way. I recently made a big batch of these so I’d have enough breakfasts for a whole week. I love finding cheap and easy Trim Healthy Mama friendly recipes for my husband and I. My goal is for it to be easy to eat healthy for an affordable price and in a delicious way. This is the third recipe in my Summer Peach series. You can find my peach sauce recipe here, and my peaches and cream popsicle recipe here.

Health Benefits of the Easy Peach Cobbler Hack

  • It meets an ideal protein goal of 25-30g. Protein is essential because it’s what helps your body keep and build muscle. Without muscle, your body can’t burn fat, and overall health quickly goes downhill. The fact that it contains this much protein makes it a Trim Healthy Mama Friendly Recipe that’s up-to-date with the plan’s new Wisdom ways. It also has enough leucine (a specific kind of protein) to be considered a protein nerd level 3 meal in the Trim Healthy Mama plan.
  • Peaches have benefits. According to healthline.com, peaches are full of antioxidants. They can help improve heart health, prevent cancer, and improve your skin.
  • It’s a carb meal, yay! Good, healthy carbs are so important. Especially for us women. Ideally, half or more of our meals should contain good carbs (so not white bread or sugar, no, no, no).
  • Energy boost for breakfast. Good carbs are especially a good way to start your day! They give you that nice little burst of energy.
  • It’s easy to make. Set aside maybe 45 minutes in the kitchen one morning to make this, and then you’ll have 6 breakfasts made for the rest of the week! All you’ll need to do is pull a cobbler square out of the fridge, top it with peach sauce and throw it in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds.

THM-Friendly E Peach Cobbler Hack

The two recipes you’ll be combining:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Put all of the ingredients for the Summer Peach Sauce in a pot on the stove then let it simmer while you put together the pancake batter to make your cobbler base. Make sure you keep an eye on the sauce and turn it off once it’s the right consistency and before it burns.
  3. Put double the amount of ingredients under “Triple Serve” in the Protein Strong Trim Healthy Pancakes recipe in a blender. Blend it all together until smooth.
  4. Pour batter into a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan and bake for 35 minutes or until a knife stuck in the center comes out clean.
  5. Allow the cobbler base to cool before dividing into six even-sized portions and refrigerating.
  6. When you’re ready to eat a piece of peach cobbler, put one portion of the cobbler base on a plate, top with as much summer peach sauce as you desire, and microwave it for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Enjoy with a cup of coffee!
