Who doesn’t LOVE Pumpkin Pie?

I was asking a few friends if they liked lamb, I had made this lamb stew that was AMAZING {recipe} and I had made it using cinnamon and nutmeg.  One of the guys said, Ewww I don’t like nutmeg. I said, “of course you do, you like pumpkin pie, right?”.  wait for it… he said “no”.

I know, can you believe it?

I swear a hush fell over the group. Then someone said “I can’t wait for the pumpkin spice lattes to come out” as if the words I don’t like nutmeg were never spoken.

It just so happened that day I was going to be making these pancakes, well paleo pumpkin pancakes, but then I thought, let’s add that spice. Almost too spite the one who doesn’t like pumpkin pie and nutmeg.

Making of Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes

As usual, I made my recipe, took the photos and sat the platter at the end of my breakfast island, while I washed the dishes.  Once I was done, I turned around to enjoy my stack of cakes and they were gone.  Well, let’s just say 98% of them were gone, the culprit at least left me one bite.

Needless to say everyone in my house likes nutmeg, pumpkin spice, and these paleo pumpkin spice pancakes.  I mean what’s not to love?  No grain, no gluten, no dairy {I used ghee} and they are vegan and vegetarian.

The Ingredients

  • Almond Flour – You will find this in your baking isle of the grocery store, next to the regular all-purpose flours.
  • Tapioca Flour – or you can use Arrowroot Flour, both are in the baking isle of your grocery store.
  • Pure Pumpkin Puree – You want to make sure you buy pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix
  • Pumpkin Spice – you can use my recipe for this or buy a prepackaged mix at your grocery store.
  • Ghee – or you can use Coconut Oil, but I do prefer Ghee here as I feel like you get a crisper pancake.

How to Make Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes

  • Mix the Dry Ingredients together
  • Mix wet Ingredients together
  • Stir Dry and Wet Ingredients together thoroughly until evenly blended.
  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat, add Ghee or Coconut oil, once melted and heated drop your first 1/4 cup of batter into pan. You can cook more than one pancake in pan (depending on size of pan) you just don’t want to over crowd pan so that pancakes have enough room to crisp up and cook.
  • Once you start to see bubble forming on your pancake it is time to flip. They should release from pan easily when you slide your spatula under your cake. Cooking on the other side will usually take less time.

  1. These pancakes are AMAZING! Every other paleo pancake recipe I’ve tried has just been mush. These are by far, hands down THE BEST paleo pancakes I’ve made yet!! I added 1 TBS coconut sugar but otherwise didn’t change a thing. Thank you so much for this great recipe!
