Working with my nutritional therapy clients, two of the biggest challenges many women face are:

  1. How to get enough protein in their diets and
  2. How to incorporate plenty of vegetables so that they have the fiber and nutrients they need to support their health goals.

This Pumpkin Spice Pancake recipe steps up to meet both of these health goals.

Packed with protein, low in carbohydrate and full of fiber. Pumpkin Spice Pancakes are a go to fall breakfast for our family.

Did you know that just one cup of pumpkin contains a whopping  171% of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin A? Vitamin A is essential to maintain vision but it also supports the heart, lungs, kidneys and the immune system.  It may even play a role in lowering the risk of certain types of cancers.

In addition to being an abundant source of vitamin A, it’s also a good source of vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and other trace minerals. At only 24 grams of carbohydrate for an entire cup, pumpkin is a super food that should be included in a healthy diet.

Enjoy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes topped with grass-fed butter, real maple syrup or a bit of applesauce. You might even want a side of grilled sausage or bacon to go with it!
