Low Carb Pancakes

I love pancakes! Growing up, every Sunday after church, my father would make us a big stack of yummy, fluffy, hot pancakes covered in peanut butter and syrup; a memory that I cherish and would love to continue. As I’ve gotten older, I find myself getting this craving every Sunday for some delicious pancakes, but that’s not exactly the healthiest or balanced meal.

I recently found these healthy low carb pumpkin pancakes to do the trick! Now if there’s one thing you need to know about me is that I LOVE the fall season and all the flavors that come with it: cinnamon, nutmeg, and PUMPKIN!  These pancakes exceeded all expectations in flavor, convenience, and nutritional value.

This recipe is a 1 serving recipe so it’s perfect when I’m on the go during the week to whip up a batch and not have to worry about extra and wasting the batter. When entertaining and making these for visitors it’s easy to just double, triple, or even quadruple the recipe to accommodate everyone. Try these out, I’m sure you will love them just as much as I do. I suggest a little peanut butter on the top with your syrup to really make these perfect!
