These pumpkin banana pancakes are a great alternative to the traditional pancake recipe.  They have more flavor with wonderful warming fall spices.  These are made with coconut flour instead of wheat which makes them free of any gluten.  They are also dairy free for those that have eliminated diary from their diet.  Pumpkin is a healthy addition to any breakfast due to it being high in vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium.  It also includes vitamin B-6, magnesium and iron.  Give these a try for a healthy filling breakfast.
