Grain Free Pumpkin Pancakes

Good morning everyone! I was craving my one of my favorite flavors today... pumpkin! I LOVE this recipe for pumpkin pancakes. It is a great alternative to regular pancakes and tastes delicious. I usually make a side of egg whites (4 egg whites, a little onion powder, sea salt & pepper) to add some protein to this dish. I am sure turkey bacon would also be a great protein source, but I do not like bacon so that doesn't work for me.... I know, I am weird. Enjoy :)
