These Banana Pumpkin Pancakes are quick and easy, refined sugar free and kid approved!
These Pumpkin Spice Pancakes are very similar to one our very favorite pancake recipes – Banana Ginger Pancakes from Dr. Neal Barnard.
I’ve changed out the flavors to make these pancakes worthy of the fall season.
Pumpkin pur̩e, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, maple syrup Рcan you smell it??Aaahhhh, my favorite time of year.
Although, these pancakes have the flavors of fall, they are perfect for anytime of year.
These Pumpkin Spice Pancakes take advantage of canned pumpkin puree, which is available all year round in many grocery stores.
I always keep several cans in my pantry because it can be used as an egg or oil replacer in lots of sweets and baked goods.

I find a lot of store bought pumpkin spice foods to be overly sweet.
Making treats at home means you can control how much sweetness goes in to the recipes.
These dairy free Pumpkin Spice Pancakes are sweetened mostly with mashed banana and have just a touch of pure maple syrup.
We think they are plenty sweet on their own and my kids eat them as is, but feel free to drizzle with a little more pure maple syrup before eating.
And, of course, top with your favorite fresh fruit.
