Pumpkins are everywhere and I just love the festivity of the season. The variety of pumpkins this year has been amazing. From green to white to orange, yellow and so much more! I took my son to the pumpkin patch the other day, and I bought each and every color, shape, and size of pumpkin, and each one tasted different. I like to roast the pumpkins in the oven and use the flesh as a base for all of my dishes, from savory to sweet. I also like to decorate my kitchen with these beautiful pumpkins.

This time, I used the flesh from a green pumpkin, and the flesh itself was so sweet and delicious.

You can certainly use pumpkin purée from a can, but I believe in fresh ingredients, I think the flavors are better and there are no preservatives.

These pancakes are moist, sweet, and fluffy. Check it out:

Ingredients: (about 9 pancakes)

2 cups of roasted pumpkin purée or from a can.

In the meantime take a nonstick pan, add coconut oil, heat the stove to medium. Gently create pancakes by using an ice cream scoop. When the edges get golden brown, you can flip to the other side. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
