Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

This past fall my kids and I made several quartz of pumpkin puree. It is incredibly easy to do and we had a lot fun. We spent several days experimenting with different pumpkin recipes. The family favorite ended up being pumpkin spice pancakes. My kids love these pancakes and I love how nutritious they are. Not only are these pumpkin spice pancakes packed full of nutrients they are also loaded with protein. These gluten free, grain free, and dairy free pancakes are easy to make and taste amazing.

Optional Toppings 

These pumpkin spice pancakes are delicious on their own but they also go well with a dollop of whip cream(find my dairy free whip cream recipe here) or some pure maple syrup. My kids enjoy them with peanut butter. You could even top them with some cinnamon spiced apples. The possibilities are endless.

 

Tips to help make your cooking and baking toxic free

A lot of kitchen utensils are highly toxic. Aluminum, plastic, non stick pans are full of cancer causing toxins and are loaded with hormone disrupting chemicals. In the case of aluminum it’s a highly toxic heavy metal that is a known neurotoxin. Learn more about toxins.

 

Consider switching to stainless steel, glass, wood, and cast iron. Find my favorite cast iron pans here.
