Fall spices, marathons, crunchy leaves, and cool weather are just a few of the things that make fall great. During the cooler months I find that I take my time waking up on weekend mornings and often find myself sitting on the couch reading a book first thing, rather than running outside for my workout before the heat sets in like I do in the summer months.
By the time my husband wakes up, I’ve had a few wonderful hours by myself and am ready to make a fun breakfast. Sometimes that means a pumpkin smoothie or trying a new juice combination. Other days it means treating breakfast like a treat.
Pumpkin pancakes taste like a treat but are actually a pretty healthy weekend breakfast.

LOOKS YUMMY! I love all the takes on healthier pancakes cause I sure love the less healthy ones as a kid! 😉
Love pumpkin too, this is a great recipe, I use pumpkin and spice it up and heat it as is, easy comfort food. Random note, first time I heard you say “husband” on your blog.
I love pumpkin. If I buy a couple cans they will be eaten in 2 days flat. I eat it plain. Well, covered in cinnamon and a drizzle of molasses, actually. I must make these one day!
Wow! These were awesome. Just made them tonight. I hate eggs so the flax meal was nice. No eggy taste.
Looks delish! I’ve never tried Pumpkin Pancakes!
