Wow, I can’t believe Thanksgiving and the holidays are already here. It seemed like just a few days ago that I was traveling around racing my bike this summer. Now it’s cold, and gloomy. But, at least when the weather isn’t good, I can always have these Reese’s Pumpkin Protein Pancakes.
Yep, they are pretty amazing. How could you not love the combination of moist and fluffy pumpkin protein pancakes topped with melted dark chocolate and peanut butter and then a chopped up Reese’s pumpkin on top. Yum!
You guys know I am a sucker for anything with chocolate and peanut butter, so these pretty much made my day. Actually, I had them a few days ago and I am still excited about them. I guess they made my week!
