When I did crawl out of bed I couldnâ€™t decide what to do for a workout , KB?, Hot Yoga?, run alone?, or the gym? I decided on the gym I am still SUPER SORE from Hot Yoga on Wednesday night, so when I got to the gym I looked like this:

BREAKFAST

I have been craving PUMPKIN PANCAKES so today I had a little more time to finally make them! I modified the cooking light recipe and made them vegan 🙂

VEGAN PUMPKIN PANCAKES

Yield: 3 servings (serving size: 4 pancakes)

Ingredients

1.1 ounces all-purpose flour (1/4 cup)
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup almond milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted (EARTH BALANCE)
1 chia egg (1 tsp chia seeds + 3 tbs of water)
1/3 cup pumpkin
Cooking spray

Preparation

1. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine the first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.

2. Combine milk, butter, pumpkin and chia egg in a small bowl. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.

3. Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Spoon about 2 1/2 tablespoons batter per pancake onto griddle. Turn pancakes over when tops are covered with bubbles; cook until bottoms are lightly browned.
