Fall is my favorite time of year, not just because it really speaks to all of my senses. I love walking into homes and breathing in the bouquet of spices filling the air. The vibrant colors of God’s creation are a glorious sight. It’s lovely to hear sounds of people beginning to settle into their homes, routines, family gatherings after a busy summer. It’s refreshing and calming to feeling the cool breeze and misty air all around me and the cozy warmth of cuddling under blankets with my blessings. You can’t beat the tastes and flavors of fall with spices, pumpkins, nuts, squashes, and comfort foods cooked with love warming your body and heart.
I’d love to share this fall variation of Trim Healthy pancakes with you. Pumpkin is one of my favorite flavors, and these pumpkin pancakes topped with sweetened maple flavored nonfat Greek yogurt and pumpkin spice are the perfect way to start a beautiful fall day!
