Pumpkin Pancakes

If you don't like eggs breakfast can be a difficult meal to keep healthy! In-between smoothies and oatmeal you may get a bit bored. As a pancake fanatic, this is one of my favourite recipes of all time! This recipe is easy to make, and with a few modifications these pancakes can be paleo friendly! Additionally, these pancakes keep well in the freezer, so you can cook them on the weekend and eat them when you wake up late! This recipe makes 10 pancakes!
