Sorry for the lack of posts last week things with school have been crazy for us! This recipe is worth the wait. These pancakes are a great option for anyone who is on a gluten free or grain free diet. They have no added sugar and are full of protein, vitamin A, and bursting with pumpkin flavor. Feel free to add a few tablespoons of maple syrup to the batter if you want a sweeter pancake.

Chocolate Pumpkin Chia Seed Pudding

Posted on by lisa

Hey blog readers! I just wanted to stop by quick with a fun new breakfast recipe for pumpkin season. This is a grain free version of overnight oats. Chia seeds are a great source of vegetarian based Omega 3’s in the form of ALA. This is a great breakfast choice for anyone who doesn’t have much time in the morning to prepare. This should be made the day before and left in the fridge overnight. You can heat it up the next morning or eat it cold the choice is yours.
