Why we love these healthy pumpkin pancakes

I love these healthy pumpkin pancakes because they're so easy to make. I'm not one to want to make a big mess with breakfast on the weekends, so having a recipe like this that's easy (and easy to clean) is great.

All you need to make this healthy pumpkin pancakes recipe is a blender and either a griddle or pan. Add all of the ingredients into the blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the batter is smooth.

Ingredient notes

• Rolled oats (I use Gluten Free): we like to use Bob's Red Mill!
• Almond milk: you could also swap this for any dairy free milk you like.
• Banana: try to use one that is over-ripe and slightly starting to brown, It's a little mushier and easier to mix.
• Pumpkin puree: make sure you don't buy pumpkin pie mix. The puree is pumpkin only and includes so many nutrients and fiber.
• Pure maple syrup: this adds a little sweetness to them, but you can leave it out if you only want to sweeten it with banana.
• Fall spices: pumpkin pie spice is the best and adds so much warmth to this recipe.

There's a really good chance you already have all of these recipes at your house right now!

Isn't one of the favorite part of pancakes is what you put on top of them? Are you a plain pancake eater? Or do you like to add butter and syrup? Give me all the toppings, there can't be too many in my opinion!

Our favorite toppings

• Grass-fed butter and pure maple syrup (one of my faves!)
• Grass-fed butter and cinnamon
• Almond butter and pecans
• Grass-fed butter, pecans and pure maple syrup
• Bananas and cinnamon
• Any combination of the above ingredients:)

How to make healthy pumpkin pancakes

Blend the batter

1. Blend the oats on high for a minute or so to create an oat flour.
2. Next, add the rest of the ingredients to the blender then close the lid and turn it on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the batter is smooth.

Cook the pancakes

1. Heat your griddle or a pan on the stove to medium-low heat. Grease with grass-fed butter or coconut oil cooking spray. Pour or scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan once it's hot.
2. Cook on one side for 2-3 minutes, or until sides start to bubble then flip them once and cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side. Try to avoid flipping multiple times. Serve warm with your favorite toppings!

These healthy pumpkin pancakes are the best fall breakfast or brunch! It's one of our favorites to make! We also love our coconut flour pancakes with blueberry syrup.
