These pumpkin pancakes are so simple and good for you, too. Pumpkin is full of fiber and vitamin A, and when combined with other ingredients – almond flour, eggs, baking soda and cinnamon – makes a wonderful breakfast pancake that your family will ask for again and again. You can add pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract for additional flavor, too. These are delicious gluten-free pancakes that I make all the time even though I'm not on a gluten-free diet.

We like to top these with my warm homemade applesauce for a lovely breakfast or brunch, but maple syrup is perfect, too. You could also try this brown sugar syrup recipe. For crunch, add some pecans or almonds. I hope you enjoy this wholesome budget-friendly pancake recipe as much as we do!
