Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes
This recipe is another Pinterest find, just from searching "paleo" I found a bunch of people to follow. This recipe was posted on the Balanced Bites blog, and comes from Practical Paleo.
It is posted with a few variations - coconut flour is optional, and so is the sweet element of maple syrup or a sugar substitute. I left both out, after a few negative experiences with coconut flour. It has so much fiber and density that you have to use it so sparingly, and I wanted to see if I even needed it at all. It turns out - no!
This may be my favorite lower sugar breakfast recipe yet. The pumpkin flavor is very noticeable (after all, there aren't very many other ingredients), and the spices are lovely. You could serve it with sugar free syrup like we did, fresh fruit and whipped cream, or if you are really more of a paleo person who consumes maple syrup, I would RUN, not walk, to the store to pick up some maple syrup to make this maple cream.
Oh, fall! Who knew you could be so healthy AND delicious?
