Pumpkin season! AKA the best part of fall. These healthy, flourless pumpkin pancakes come together in minutes, perfect for cozy fall mornings. In my house, pancakes are more of a weekend thing (weekdays I’m all about smoothies), but these are so easy that I’ve been making them every day of the week.
They’re the perfect balance of healthy protein, fat, and whole-food carbohydrates. Pumpkin purée is a great source of fiber, vitamin A (healthy skin and eyes!), and iron. I stock up on the organic pumpkin purée from Trader Joe’s (see all my favorite healthy Trader Joe’s picks for fall here).
