Not only will they fill your kitchen with cozy autumn aromas, but they’ll make your home smell like the holidays — no candles needed!

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 1 egg (Organic, pasture-raised preferred)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (FlavCity Vanilla Cream)
  • 1 tsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1 tsp allulose (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1/4 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1/4 tsp ginger and nutmeg (optional, for extra spice)
  • A pinch of sea salt

Directions

  • Preheat your griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with grass-fed butter, ghee, tallow, or avocado oil.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, and Greek yogurt. Stir until well mixed.

  • Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until you see bubbles at the top and then flip for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
