Easy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

I love everything about Fall. The weather starts to cool down (finally), apples are a plenty and just about everything you see has been pumpkin spice-ified. Yes, I just made up that word 🙂 But, you know what I am talking about! This time of year, you can find just about everything you could ever imagine with a pumpkin spice flavor. I’m not complaining though, I love pumpkin spice season!

But did you know that pumpkin is actually good for us? Pumpkin has so many health benefits! Pumpkin helps our immune system, it’s collagen-building (woman over 40 here…yes please!) and it’s loaded with Vitamin A and Vitamin C. And that’s just to name a few.

So, while you are baking and cooking all things pumpkin this season, you can feel good about the extra nutrients you are giving your family.
