Grain-Free Pumpkin Pancakes

This time of year I can't get enough of this delicious, nutrient dense, GP-friendly food!  Pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamin A (1 cup has 760% of the daily value!) as well as vitamin C, iron, and calcium.  The variety of ways to use it are endless, for example adding a scoop to hot cereal, smoothies, soup, etc.  Most recently I experimented with a recipe for a protein rich breakfast that would include the pumpkin love.  The result was a light and fluffy crepe like pancake, with plenty of fall flavor!

Whisk eggs, pumpkin, vanilla, and maple syrup together.  Sift spices and baking soda into the wet ingredients.  Melt a small amount of coconut oil over medium heat and allow it to lightly spread over the pan.  Spoon batter in skillet to make pancakes of your desired size.  When bubbles appear, flip once to finish cooking.  Serve with some yogurt for a nice breakfast or can also be great as a snack.
