Pumpkin Pancake Recipe

Make This: Pumpkin Pancakes

11


I had a leftover can of pumpkin puree and decided to put it to use for breakfast. To the delight of my daughters, I made pumpkin pancakes, but I kept things healthy using whole wheat flower and adding some ground chia seeds into the mix. The outcome was tasty and filling, I might add. Topped with maple yogurt and toasted pecans, these pancakes were a seasonal delight.
