  1. Rich in Vitamins: Excellent source of vitamins, especially vitamin A, which supports eye health and immune function.

  2. High in Fiber: Pumpkin puree adds dietary fibre to the pancakes, which helps with digestion, keeps you feeling fuller for longer, and supports healthy blood sugar levels.

  3. Antioxidant Boost: Contains antioxidants, including beta-carotene, which helps reduce inflammation and protect the body from free radical damage, promoting overall health.

  4. Lower Sugar Content: By using natural ingredients like pumpkin puree, cinnamon and nutmeg, pumpkin pancakes can be sweetened naturally, helping to reduce the need for added sugars.

  5. Healthy Carbohydrates: The combination of whole-grain flour and pumpkin provides a slow-releasing source of energy, helping you stay energized throughout the day without spiking blood sugar levels.

  6. Boosts Immune System: With its high vitamin C content, pumpkin can help boost your immune system, making these pancakes a great choice during the colder months.

  7. Heart Health: Pumpkin contains potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure and promotes heart health.
