This recipe is adapted from my traditional gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free protein pancakes recipe! All you do is add some additional spices and pumpkin puree. These are the BEST if you're in your luteal phase, but as always, you can obviously eat these pancakes whenever you're craving pumpkin! They're healthy, clean, and form a balanced meal with the additional protein.

You will LOVE these pancakes, especially in the fall. Pumpkin provides blood sugar balancing benefits, keeping sugar cravings away, and helping to flush excess estrogen from your body. I love these pancakes topped with maple syrup, and maybe a little coco whip on top. Enjoy! 🫶
