INGREDIENTS YOU NEED

Dry ingredients

• monk fruit sweetener
• super-fine blanched almond flour
• coconut flour
• pumpkin pie spice
• ground cinnamon
• baking powder

Wet ingredients

• eggs – for extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg whites and whip until stiff peaks then fold into the batter after you add the cinnamon.
• canned or pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• almond milk
• cashew butter, almond butter or any nut or seed butter of your choice (pumpkin butter, sunflower seed butter)
• vanilla extract

HOW TO MAKE LOW CARB PUMPKIN PANCAKES:

1. COMBINE THE WET INGREDIENTS: In a large bowl beat the eggs, then whisk in the pumpkin puree, nut butter and sweetener. Pour in the milk, and vanilla and mix until smooth. For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg whites and whip until stiff peaks then fold into the batter after you add the cinnamon.
2. ADD DRY INGREDIENTS: Stir in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and mix until smooth and combined.
3. 
4. Allow the batter to rest for 3-5 minutes so the leavening agent can activate. If the batter appears too thick, add a splash of almond milk. If too thin, add a bit more flour.
5. PREHEAT PAN: Meanwhile, preheat griddle or a large skillet over medium low heat.

6. MAKE THE PANCAKES: Lightly coat pan with avocado oil spray or melted ghee  and drop 1/4 cup sized batter rounds onto the griddle. Cook until the edges begin to turn golden brown and bubbles form on the top, about 3-5 minutes. GENTLY flip and cook another 2-4 minutes or until golden brown.

7. Serve with sugar free maple syrup, sugar free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, melted butter / ghee or coconut whipped cream, if desired.
