These Pumpkin Pancakes Are Paleo
Years ago, Zane and I followed the Paleo diet. In the process, we found some great recipes that we still love even though we are not practicing Paleo eating. These pumpkin pancakes are one of the favorite recipes that we still eat today. We love having a pancake option that has no flour and no white sugar. They are delicious to boot!!!
Years ago, Zane and I followed the Paleo diet together, and along the way we found some recipes we loved so much we never stopped making them. This pumpkin pancake recipe is one of them! We enjoy having a pancake option with no flour or white sugar, and these genuinely taste amazing.
Maple Pecan Butter Tops This Pumpkin Pancake Recipe
Instead of drowning these pancakes in maple syrup, we make a homemade nut butter using pecans. This pecan butter is so delicious, and it pairs perfectly with the pumpkin pancakes. Don’t be tempted to skip this step, because if you do, you’re missing out. This pecan butter MAKES these pancakes!

This Pumpkin Pancake Recipe is Oven-Baked
My favorite way to make these pancakes is in the oven. It is quick, easy, and makes a whole batch at one time. Baking them is so much easier than standing over a skillet. If you prefer, you can make these in a skillet like traditional pancakes. You can use coconut oil to keep them Paleo.

How To Make Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes Ahead
The batter can be made ahead and kept in the fridge a day ahead. I like to make a big batch of pancakes, store them in the fridge (parchment paper in between), and microwave what we need each morning. The maple pecan butter can be made ahead and kept in the fridge in an airtight container for several days.
I’d love to hear from you if you try these or if you have anything to share. Thanks so much for stopping by! Be blessed, and stay savvy!!!
