I’m totally falling for this fall weather we’re having right now! 🙂 I’m ready for all things crunchy leaves, booties, apple, pear and PUMPKIN!!
Which is why I’m already sharing a pumpkiny delicious recipe in September!
After a sweltering summer in the city, I am so happy we’ve had some cooler temps, but at the same time, it’s a little concerning with all of the recent disasters our country is facing… If you’re impacted by Hurricanes Harvey or Irma, I’m thinking of you – please stay safe!
And even though we’ve been fairly dry up here, I’ve definitely been feeling this change of seasons — anyone else?
I’ve never heard of this change of seasons making people feel off concept before, but hey, you learn something new everyday… and apparently it’s more common than I knew! Someone commented on Instagram that “mercury is in retrograde,” and even though I have NO idea what that means… I’ve been feeling a little retrograde…
But these Grain Free Pumpkin Pancakes are total comfort food to help me (and anyone else out there) crawl out of this retrograde. I modeled this recipe after my zucchini bread pancakes and they’re equally fluffy, easy to make and absolutely delicious to eat up!
I love making a double batch over the weekend and freezing leftovers for easy mornings or even a snack at work. Try it, you (and your kids) will love it!

I used a small amount of coconut flour (affil link) in this stack, and it provides just enough structure with a hefty dose of fiber to start the day. If you haven’t tried baking with coconut flour I hiiiighlyyy suggest trying it. You can try my Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins that use coconut flour too!

Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons* coconut flour
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or another mild-tasting oil)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk egg whites, eggs and pumpkin puree together until combined.
- Add cinnamon, coconut flour and maple syrup and continue to mix until mixture is smooth.
- Add coconut oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add about 1/4 cup batter to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes, until set around the edges. Carefully flip and cook for another 2 minutes, until browned at the edges.
- Repeat with the remaining batter. Enjoy immediately 🙂
Notes
*If your pumpkin puree is very liquidy, you may need more coconut flour. Add 1 tablespoon at a time until you achieve pancake batter consistency.
Don’t forget to PIN IT…
Happy brunching! 🙂
