A FALL TREAT for the healthy


Pumpkin and Cinnamon…They’re the ultimate flavors of fall. Combine them together in a pancake that tastes as rich as a slice of cake, and you have the perfect breakfast to kick off the fall season!

I love pumpkin everything and right now I cant give in to a sugar filled pumpkin donut (insert sad face - as I watch my weight for upcoming weddings) so I wanted to share a delicious healthier version of a yummy pumpkin treat.
