Recipe 1: Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes

Stephanie Niknam (@wwchefsteph) is bringing cozy fall flavors to your breakfast routine with her Pumpkin Spice Protein Pancakes, made using Ready® Vanilla Whey Protein. After losing over 100 pounds in just two years, Stephanie focuses on creating recipes that are both delicious and protein-packed—and this one is no exception.

To make them, she combines 1 scoop of Ready® Vanilla Protein Powder, 1 whole egg, ¼ cup pumpkin purée, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon or pumpkin spice, 1–2 tablespoons of self-rising flour, and 2 teaspoons of fat-free milk. Mix everything in a medium bowl until smooth, then cook each side for 1–2 minutes on medium heat. Top with sugar-free syrup or chocolate chips for a little extra flavor.

Each serving delivers 20g protein, 226 calories, 3g fat, and 30g carbs, making it the perfect way to fuel your fall mornings with balanced nutrition and seasonal flavor. Watch the YouTube video below to see how easy it is to make these warm, fluffy, protein-packed pancakes for yourself.

Recipe 2: Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Parfait 

Stephanie brings all the cozy fall vibes with her Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Parfait featuring the Ready® Iced Oatmeal Cookie Protein Bar. This easy, high-protein recipe layers crisp apples, creamy yogurt, and soft-baked bar pieces for a snack that tastes like dessert but fuels like a meal.

To make it, pan-fry half of an apple with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until the slices are golden brown. Next, chop half of a Ready® Iced Oatmeal Cookie Bar into small, bite-sized pieces. In a glass or bowl, layer apple-flavored Greek yogurt, your warm cinnamon apples, and the Ready® bar pieces on top.

Each serving delivers 36g of protein, 360 calories, 11.5g of fat, and 30.6g of carbs, making it the perfect balance of flavor and nutrition. Watch the YouTube video below to see how Stephanie turns simple ingredients into a satisfying fall treat.
