Maple Cream Cheese Glaze
Toppings
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, add whole wheat pastry flour, protein powder, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until combined.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, add coconut milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan.
4
Preheat a large nonstick pan on medium heat with a tablespoon of vegan butter. When butter starts to sizzle, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake, and spread out gently into a round shape with a spoon or the back of your measuring cup. Repeat with remaining batter; work in batches if necessary. Recipe yields about 6 medium pancakes. When the undersides are golden and bubbles start to appear on top, flip with a spatula and cook until golden brown. Add more butter between batches as necessary.
5
Whisk together all ingredients for the maple cream cheese glaze until smooth.
6
Serve pancakes warm with the prepared glaze, chopped pecans, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Protein Powder Integration 💪Sift your vanilla protein powder with the dry ingredients before mixing to prevent clumping and ensure even distribution throughout the batter for consistent texture and protein in every pancake.
- Batter Rest Period ⏱️Let your batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing—this allows the flour to fully hydrate and creates fluffier, more tender pancakes with better structure that hold together beautifully.
- Griddle Temperature Precision 🔥Maintain medium heat and test with a water droplet that should sizzle gently; too hot burns the outside while leaving centers raw, too cool results in dense, gummy pancakes.
- Cream Cheese Glaze Emulsification 🧈Warm your vegan cream cheese slightly before whisking with maple syrup and plant-based butter to create a silky, pourable glaze that won't seize or become grainy.
- Pecan Toasting Technique 🌰Toast your pecans in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before chopping and adding to the batter to unlock their rich, buttery flavors and prevent them from becoming soggy.
