Fluffy No Added Sugar Pumpkin Pancakes

Oh October…how do I love thee!! We all know that October is ALL about the pumpkins, so I felt that it was only appropriate to make these Fluffy No Added Sugar Pumpkin Pancakes! 

I love trying out new recipes on the weekends!  It brings me so much joy to make something tasty and be able to share it with you guys! It also fills my heart when my family enjoys these new recipes, and I get to hear “It tastes good, Mommy!” or “Good job, babe!”

As the weekend approached, I had a hankering for pumpkin pancakes! Let me take this time to explain my relationship with pumpkins! I love pumpkin flavored food! I love pumpkin cookies, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin flavored creamer…but I DO NOT like pumpkin pie!  I know, weird right?!  Lol! I’ve tried to eat pumpkin pie several times, and every time I eat it, I cringe! I think it’s because I keep comparing it to sweet potato pie, which is my fav!!  Now back to these yummy pancakes! Lol! I experimented with a few recipes because I really wanted fluffy pumpkin pancakes, but without feeling like I’ve consumed a whole days worth of calories at one meal!

I finally decided on this perfect recipe that doesn’t have any added sugar or added fat! I replaced those items with tablespoons of light agave and unsweetened applesauce! Those substitutions didn’t compromise the taste one bit! These Fluffy No Added Sugar Pumpkin Pancakes were the perfect start to our Saturday morning! I love to top my pancakes with a little whipped cream and pecans.  What are some of your favorite pancake toppings??
