With the holidays quickly approaching and summer far behind us it's time to ditch our healthy diets for the warm comfort foods of fall, right? Wrong. Just because you add a few layers to your outfit does not mean you have to add a few pounds this season.

These paleo pumpkin pancakes are the perfect breakfast for a cozy fall morning, and you won't regret eating them later.

    Grease your pan with butter or coconut oil (but we all know coconut anything is always better). Pour the batter on the pan and watch the magic happen. Flip the pancakes when you see small bubbles starting to form.

    Finally, flip those flapjacks off your pan and onto your plate and enjoy the heck out of these perfectly fall and perfectly pumpkin pancakes! I like to heat up whatever fresh fruit I have on my pan and serve it on top of my pancakes.
