Well, after a few days of rain the temperature has finally cooled off out here and it feels like Fall is right around the corner! That means one thing…pumpkin season is here! Fall is my favorite time of year, not only because of the cooler weather but it’s also time for comfort food and anything with pumpkin is at the top of my list! These keto Pumpkin Pancakes are perfect for cool, Fall weather and are sure to satisfy your pumpkin and pancake cravings!
After creating my keto Chai Spiced Pumpkin Bread, the next thing on my Fall list was keto Pumpkin Pancakes. Maddie, like me, is a huge fan of pumpkin and loves my other low carb and keto friendly pancakes so I decided to modify our favorite keto dairy free pancake recipe into a pumpkin version perfect for Fall! This recipe uses almond butter, eggs, and zucchini as a base to the batter making the pancakes grain free, dairy free and gluten free!
Zucchini doesn’t have a strong flavor so its the perfect veggie to sneak into these keto pumpkin pancakes. The kids will never know its there!
Using a high speed blender like a Vitamix, will make quick work of of this batter. Although I’ve not tried another type of blender, if you can make a green smoothie in it, you can use it for this batter! Also, be sure your almond butter doesn’t have any added sugar to keep this as low carb as possible!
These keto Pumpkin Pancakes are perfect for weekday meal prep or for a quick weekend breakfast! The batter is made in the blender so it’s a snap to through together. We typically make a double batch and keep them in the fridge for the girls to heat up for a yummy breakfast on school days!
Spiced up with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice, these gluten free, dairy free, keto Pumpkin Pancakes are sure to tame your pumpkin spice cravings…served up with butter, sugar free syrup or even some melted almond butter…DELISH!
