Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe

I love love love pumpkin! It makes every recipe feel like a dessert – even pancakes. If it were up to me I would make pumpkin recipes all year round. And it is up to me, so I do. 🙂 However, I realize that most people think of pumpkin as an autumn food, so I have impatiently waited to share these gluten-free pumpkin pancakes with you.

This recipe makes 24 pancakes. I freeze the leftovers and then quickly reheat them for a fast and easy “homemade” breakfast on busy mornings. If you don't want leftover pancakes, you can halve this recipe.
