Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes


Since Eden started eating solid foods I developed a new found love for pumpkin puree. She loved eating it straight from the can and it provided her with great nutrients while cost less than traditional baby food. I had almost forgotten what a wonderful, useful thing it can be, not just for babies, but for adults as well. There are so many

So I started experimenting with pumpkin in my pancakes and was inspired to make pumpkin pancakes as healthy as I could without sacrificing any flavor. The result is the recipe for healthy pumpkin pancakes below. These pancakes are moist and flavorful and Eden devours them joyfully. They are fantastic with a little bit of whipped cream and powdered sugar, though to lose some of the best benefits by sugaring it up, but you have to have a little fun every now and then right?

Ingredients: 
1/2 cup whole wheat flour 
1 Cup Almond Meal 
1/2 cup rolled oats (old fashioned) 
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 
1 teaspoon cinnamon 
Pinch ground nutmeg 
Pinch ground ginger 
1/4 t. salt 
3 T. Honey 
2/3 cup canned pumpkin purée 
2 eggs 
1 t. Vanilla 
3/4 cup 1% milk
