flourless pumpkin Pancakes

As the weather cools down and the leaves start to fall, I love incorporating pumpkin into just about everything- and these Flourless Pumpkin Pancakes are no exception!

They’re light, fluffy and made with only 3 ingredients!  

These delicious and easy to make pancakes are made with pure pumpkin, a natural nut butter and eggs. That’s it! People are often surprised that pancakes can be made without flour. Flour is not necessary for this recipe.

Pancakes should always be made at home, from scratch, using real ingredients and never made from a box. While store bought pancake mixes may offer convenience, they usually fall short in quality and health benefits.

Most boxed pancake mixes contain ultra-processed wheat, sugar, artificial ingredients and preservatives that you might not want in your diet.

Plus, why buy boxed when healthier pancakes are so easy and inexpensive to make at home?

Say goodbye to the boxed mixes and say hello to comfort food that’s as good for your body as your taste buds!

Give these a try- they’re good!

Why pancakes should always be made from scratch?

• Additives & Preservatives: Most boxed mixes contain cheap artificial ingredients, preservatives and additives that you might not want in your diet.

• Cost: It’s cheap! Making pancakes from scratch is cheaper than buying a pre-made mix, especially if you already have the basic ingredients on hand.

• Control over the ingredients: When you make your own mix, you can control the quality and type of ingredients. For instance, you can totally cut the flour, reduce the sugar or add nutritional extras like flax seeds or chia seeds.

• Taste and texture: Homemade pancakes taste better and have a better texture than those made from a mix.

• Allergy and dietary restrictions: If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, making your own mix ensures it’s safe for you to eat. You can make gluten-free, dairy free or vegan pancakes easily without worrying about cross-contamination or hidden ingredients.

• Customization: You can easily customize homemade pancakes with different flavors, add-ins (like fruit or nuts) and toppings.

• Think about the kids: Kids are being raised in this modern day age  where it’s normal to eat packaged foods. This isn’t good. They eat too much of it- I know mine do and we are a health conscious family. I found that when my kids were little, pancakes were an easy meal that I could make from scratch and they didn’t even notice. A win for this mom!
