KETO PUMPKIN PANCAKE INGREDIENTS
For the pumpkin puree you can used unsweetened canned or make your own. We don't use baking powder in this recipe but it can be added. It adds a slight lift but because of the density of the pumpkin puree it does not lift the pancake mixture that much.
- Pumpkin Puree - this adds moisture and flavour to the pancakes. We used canned pumpkin puree. Check the sugar content on the label.
- Coconut flour - One of my favourite low carb flours but it can be swapped with almond flour.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice - Make your own or use store bought
- Low Carb Sweetener - We used powdered monk fruit sweetener for this recipe but any other low carb sweetener, granular or sweetener can be used.
- Coconut milk - Almond milk can be substituted.
- Eggs - room temperature works better.
- Coconut Oil - Avocado or olive oil can be used but may give a different taste.

It's easy to use and cleans easily. Plus I like the neatness of the pancake shapes. We purchased ours from Amazon.

Love the sound of these....where do I find coconut flour? Can I get it at Geant/Carrefour with the gram flour and all that?

I buy it from Amazon as I could not find it here. I have asked the Organic shop to stock it and they are currently looking at their suppliers. Let's hope they start selling it soon. It is fairly cheap on Amazon and a bag lasts a lot longer than normal flour as you only use a few tablespoons in each recipe.
