Wheat Free Pumpkin Pancakes
Pumpkin is awesome pumpkin is neat, these wheat-free pumpkin pancakes can't be beat!
Ha ha, you've got to love a silly jingle, I know my kids do, love jungles that is. But they also love these wheat-free pumpkin pancakes too!
I've been making them for a while, the started off as one of the finger food recipes I made for babies.
My babies are now much bigger but they still love these as a snack or for breakfast or even in their lunchboxes.
I learnt how to make wheat-free pancakes from the awesome Ciara of My Fussy Eater, her cottage cheese pancakes were the inspiration for my wheat-free pumpkin pancakes.
When I first started making these pancakes I always used cottage cheese, but I've found thick Greek style yoghurt works well too.
It is such an easy recipe, using a blender to combine all the ingredients. If you have kids who love green, then you should also try my mini pea pancakes they are so good with smoked salmon

Yum. Those sound so tasty. I love the Autumnal theme!
I made these for my 19 month old son this morning. He loved them and kept asking for "mowa". He refuses vegetables (except for tomatoes and avocado) unless they are very finely chopped and smothered in cheese sauce, so this felt like a major victory!
Brilliant! Glad he liked them
