You could probably just add more egg whites (either 2-3 egg whites or an additional 1/3 cup). Let us know how they turn out!
I was wondering if there is anything i can substitute for the protein powder? I don’t have any on hand, but would love to still make pumpkin pancakes! I made your pumpkin donut holes last night and your confetti pancakes this morning! both were awesome. Thanks!
