Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

pumpkin banana spice pancakes

The magic of eggs is something new to me. I always thought I hated them. Then I thought I had a sensitivity to them. And now that I’m experimenting with adding them back into my diet, I just want to play with them…. and make stupid easy concoctions like these delicious pancakes. I still can’t get over that you can mix together just a banana (in this case pumpkin too) and an egg and get pancakes. Mind. Blown.

There’s a blog I read called A House in the Hills and the author, who has Crohn’s disease, had a hilarious post this week about everything she’s learned about food… what foods are the devil… what’s killing you… what foods are perfect that if you’re not eating… you’re going to die. If you’ve ever scratched your head at what to eat, you will laugh at this.

Point being, it’s really easy to get wrapped up and lost in all the differing opinions out there on what’s good and what’s not. Truth is, we are the only ones who can truly know what foods really feed us – the foods our bodies thrive on. Figuring that out means learning to tune in and listen to your body’s signals which is much easier said than done. Especially in our i’mtoobusytositdowntoeatgottarunseeyalater lives. This is where I can help. If you want to learn how to to tune in and really start listening to what your body’s telling you, give me a call or drop me an email. I’d love to help you hone this sense so you can finally figure out how to eat the best foods possible for you.

I hope you enjoy these pancakes and have as much fun making them as I did. Here’s to new discoveries!
