Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie Pancakes

Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie Pancakes make a festive, healthy breakfast that tastes like a dessert! 

Happy Fall, everyone! I just love the changes that Fall brings about, from the cooler weather to the abundance of apple and pumpkin everything. Lately, I’ve been cooking with apples every chance I get, but I can’t forget about how much my family and I enjoy pumpkin.

With Halloween around the corner, I have party snacks and dessert recipes ready to go, but until now I didn’t have anything for breakfast. So, I started thinking about incorporating pumpkin into pancakes, and then I thought what’s better than pumpkin? Pumpkin pie! And so my wish to create a breakfast that was healthy but had the taste of a rich, Fall dessert came to light.

I must say, these gluten free pumpkin pie pancakes are like a dream come true – light, fluffy, and the delicious taste of pumpkin pie in every bite. I had my kids and husband taste test and they were all over the moon about how amazing these pancakes taste.

They’re perfect for breakfast, but they would also work well as a snack if cut into strips. They have just enough sweetness packed into them that syrup on is really optional and not necessary. You can make them throughout the Fall or as long as you can find pumpkin easily in stores. And, if you stock up on some Halloween themed pancake molds like I did, then they can be used to make adorable, festive pancakes on Halloween too!

As a busy working mom, I value the importance of simple, nutritious recipes, so I kept that in mind during recipe development. My gluten free pumpkin pie pancakes have 8 ingredients, take 5 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook. Here’s the recipe, so you can make some too.

3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients bowl and whisk together until smooth.
