The Syrup Is The Secret Sauce
The blueberry syrup recipe is easily my favorite part of this pancake breakfast. To make it, you’ll need either fresh or frozen blueberries, some freshly squeezed orange juice, water, and arrowroot flour. Heat the blueberries and orange juice in a small saucepan over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes, and then combine the water and arrowroot in a separate bowl. After removing the blueberries from the heat, stir in the arrowroot mixture, and voila! That’s all it takes to make your homemade blueberry syrup. I prefer to use fresh blueberries when I make it, as I feel like they add just that little bit extra to the syrup. Whatever you choose, you’ll be able to enjoy pancake syrup totally guilt free, and it’s even packed full of cancer fighting antioxidants thanks to the use of real blueberries. (1)
Ridiculously Tasty Pancakes
As good as the blueberry syrup is, these pumpkin pancakes are no slouch when it comes to offering tons of great flavor as well. The first thing you’ll need to do is sift together your coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. With that out of the way, you can then turn your attention to combining the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and pumpkin puree.
While many of you have probably used pumpkin puree to great effect in many holiday themed desserts, it also works incredibly well when it comes to making great tasting pancakes. And of course, pumpkin is a wonderfully nutritious food to indulge in anyway, as numerous studies have indicated it possesses several antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties.

The use of coconut flour and coconut oil also meshes perfectly with the pumpkin puree, offering just the right amount of coconut flavor with every bite as well.
I honestly can’t say enough good things about this recipe. The pumpkin pancakes are delicious in their own right, and work terrifically for anyone looking for a tasty low carb breakfast idea. And the blueberry syrup recipe? You’ll definitely want to make it again and again — it’s that good. Combining the two of them results in one incredible paleo breakfast meal. Of course, if you’d prefer to use another topping on your pancakes, like honey or maple syrup, you can go right ahead. All of them are excellent options that keep things nutritious and totally paleo friendly.
