Pure Balance For Life: When in Doubt, Make Banana Pumpkin Pancakes!!

So I'm heading on vacation in a few days and I look on the kitchen counter and see a few bananas that are starting to get very ripe. Then i look in my fridge and I have canned pumpkin left that I didn't use up. So I'm one that hates to waste anything. I will use up as much of it as possible. So on tonight's agenda i decided to keep in the spirit of the fall season and make it all about the pumpkin. It was a super easy recipe with very few ingredients. Simple just how I like them.

Something about this time of year that I just love. I love the changes of color in the leaves. I love that fresh crisp air that is just a tad bit cool where you just need a light sweater. Pulling out the fall decorations and letting the festivities of the holiday season gear up. Just feels me with warmth.

Grab your children and have them make these pancakes with you. Anytime you can spend with your children take advantage of it. Life is to short and they grow up way to fast.

RECIPE

1 cup oat flour

2 ripe bananas mashed

1/4 cup canned pumpkin

2 eggs

1tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp cinnamon

1/2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice

1tsp nutmeg

1/4 unsweetened almond milk(optional)

In a large bowl mash up bananas, then add pumpkin, eggs, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and nutmeg. Mix well until everything is well blended. Then add oat flour to mixture and mix well. If the batter seems too thick then you can the almond milk. Heat up griddle and I like to spray the pan with cooking spray. Use 1/4cup batter for each pancake. Cook well on one side then flip to cook other side. Make sure you cook long enough for the inside to be fully cooked. Put on plate and serve. If not eating all of them you can wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze them in packages of 2. Then when I want them, I will pull a package out defrost and toss them in a toaster. I like that it gives them a bit of a crunch.

This recipe makes approx, 12 pancakes. Serving size is 2 pancakes. Have fun and enjoy!
