Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes
Every Saturday when I was growing up, my family would make homemade pancakes from scratch, and we would enjoy breakfast at our giant dining room table while reading the newspaper. When my sister and I were really little, my dad would get creative and make our pancakes into fun shapes like Micky Mouse or hearts, something I can’t wait to do with my future children one day!
There’s something so warming and comforting about a big stack of pancakes. But homemade pancakes can require a lot of ingredients, so I’m here to simplify your life and fill you in on my all time favorite pancake (and waffle) mix: Birch Benders. I personally love their paleo pancakes because they are gluten & dairy-free and offer a healthy serving of protein and fiber!
And yes, I know Birch Benders makes a Paleo Pumpkin version, but I prefer to buy the plain Paleo version so I can switch up the flavors whenever I want!
This is probably the easiest recipe on the blog…but it’s too good not to share!! Save this one for those cool fall mornings when you’re cravin’ a big ole stack of pancakes, and get creative with your shapes!!! :) Okay, let’s get cooking!
