A few months ago I was getting quite addicted to BodyRocking. It lasted a few weeks, and then I reverted to daily walks and yoga (as usual). I still subscribe to their feed though, and recently I bookmarked this recipe to try.
Protein Pumpkin Pie Recipe
[imagine pancakey-pumpkin-pie here]
adapted from this bodyrocker
Ingredients
- 1 can pumpkin puree
- stevia, to taste – this is hard to measure because each type of stevia is so different. Use your best judgement! Should be equivalent to 1/4 cup sugar.
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 medium eggs (these are smaller than normal eggs – I would use 3 Xtra large)
- 1 packet protein powder (= 1 scoop = 30 grams; I used HempShake in Chocolate flavor)
- butter for greasing a pan
Method
- Mix all ingredients together.
- Cook, covered, on low heat like a gigantic pancake in a buttered pan. Flip it after 5 minutes. Continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes.
This recipe was not actually meant to be cooked on the stove, and it came out ugly enough that I’m not going to gross you out with pictures. I promise though, it tasted really good. The reason for the stovetop baking is that apparently the oven in my new apartment sucks doesn’t work right. I had this for dessert last night and then for breakfast this morning.

those recipes look awesome – although, truth be told, i can’t bear to use my kabocha for anything but to eat it plain (I LOVE IT!)
i like to do http://www.foodsofapril.com recipe for pumpkin souffle & whole-meal pumpkin pie. they’re great!
@tea-bagginit: Oo I will have to check out her blog. I’ve seen links to it before but never browsed it much.
Yum!! What size can of pumpkin do you use? And is the protein powder flavored?
@Betherann: I think it was just a normal (smallish) can – what is that, like 12 or 14 ounces? The protein powder was chocolate flavored. Unfortunately I keep forgetting to check what brand it is (I got a couple packets on sale at my local health food store). I will try to remember to check tonight.
But… but… WHERE’S THE CRUST???
This looks delicious!
@Sagan: I should have baked or steamed a kabocha and made a pumpkin crust
