Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Paleo Pancakes

by JJ Virgin on October 3, 2017

Wow, this recipe is a winner!

Grain-free, low-sugar impact Paleo nutrition meets the gorgeous flavors of fall. Unlike other gluten-free pancake recipes, these turn out light and fluffy.

The addition of pumpkin means extra fiber and vitamins, while the almond flour brings plenty of healthy fats and a protein boost of its own. Believe me when I say you need these RIGHT NOW.
