Healthy Pumpkin Blueberry Pancakes with Maple Cinnamon Greek Yogurt



I had some pumpkin puree leftover from baking pumpkin cookies recently and decided to use it up in some pumpkin pancakes for my breakfast this morning.


This recipe is so simple, quick and full of pumpkin flavor. I like to always have some sort of protein in the morning, so decided to top the pancakes with some greek yogurt flavored with cinnamon and maple syrup.


I also like to have some fresh fruit for breakfast, so I put some fresh blueberries into the pancake batter. They add a nice freshness and texture to the pancakes.

Pumpkin has a short season, so take advantage of it and make these pancakes ASAP! They are so delicious and a nice treat to have on a fall morning.
