Paleo Pumpkin Sheet Pan Pancakes

If you love to meal prep or find yourself out of time for a healthy fresh breakfast in the mornings you will LOVE this Paleo Pumpkin Sheet Pan Pancake recipe! This makes ditching the sugary dirty carb breakfasts, for you or your kiddos, easy! Mix it and bake it. Freezes well and you can pop it in the toaster to reheat it.

I am not sure I know a person who didn’t grow up loving pancakes. When we went gluten-free about 7 years ago I will not lie it took me a pretty long time to find a recipe I would say could hold up to the “traditional” pancakes.

But this one does it, friends!

This Paleo Pancake recipe is so versatile. I love to switch it up and make a paleo pumpkin (monk fruit) brown sugar bunt cake, paleo pumpkin bread with a paleo blueberry chia seed jam topping, or just some good old paleo pumpkin pancakes topped with maple and pecans. (All the recipes are included in the post) I hope you give all of these variations a go and come back and let me know in the comments below which was your favorite!

Clean Eating

Hey, friend if this is your first time here welcome. You will find loads of clean eating recipes here so I hope you stay awhile and browse around the blog. I also have a section for wellness – living a clean nontoxic lifestyle and modern homesteading.

A quick back story. (For my full story click here) After having our youngest son I knew something was OFF with my body. In hindsight, there were few “check engine” lights or symptoms that had I known what it was would have prevented the ‘bigger’ problem that developed after having my two sons.

The short version of why I am so passionate and have spent the last 10+ years researching is after running SO MANY blood tests the doctors concluded that the autoimmune condition I had was “I’m sorry K’Lee this is just something you’re going to have to live with there is no cure” (including staying on the thyroid medication forever).

Unacceptable.

So here we are. The reason I created this blog and share the clean eating lifestyle is that after years of doing my own research and “experimenting” with what I learned in functional medicine and natural healing of those who had healed their autoimmune conditions – I healed mine too!

Using clean organic eating I refer to it as ancestral eating or the “human diet”. Though I try to avoid the dirty “D” word (diet) since the multi-billion dollar diet industry has made us think a “diet” is something with a start and end date.

When it is actually referring to a way of eating. Elephants eat the elephant diet. Rabbits eat the rabbit diet. Humans should be eating the human diet.

But the SAD diet, or Standard American Diet (how ironic right?) has become frankin-foods. Or foods cooked up in labs to create addictions, to trick our bodies into eating more so they sell more

“Would you like to biggie size that?” – aka eat more sell more eat more sell more

Paleo or Keto (why not both)

You will find 98% of the recipes on the blog follow a Clean Keto (meaning dairy-free and little to no processed foods) mixed with Paleo or a healthy clean carb cycling primarily in the evenings for dinner. These Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes are often breakfast for dinner meals around our house.

However, my teenage boys love to make them fresh if I have repaired the batter in the morning. And we love these when we have guests sleep-over and the boys want to play not make breakfast.

Again this recipe is so versatile.

This Clean Keto + Paleo = the real food, human diet.

Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes Four Ways

I want to share the four ways we find ourselves going back to this recipe time and time again for.

Traditional Pancakes

If you are not a fan of the pumpkin you can swap it out for berries or the way my youngest son love them the “PB&J” style pancakes – swooping the pumpkin for peanut butter and strawberry jam. My personal favorite is the pumpkin pecan and maple mix. Which is the Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes (sheet pan or traditional style) with butter, maple syrup, and pecans (or walnuts whatever we have on hand).

One of the things I LOVE about cooking is the freedom to create. So there is no need to “measure out” the swapped-out ingredients.

Just remember the jam, even homemade chia seed jam (my recipe here) has more sugar – even if it is all-natural sugar, it should still be used in moderation.

The Paleo Pumpkin Pancake Bread with Blueberry Chia Seed Jam

The next way this recipe is always a win in our house is to mix it pour it in a bread pan and bake it was paleo pumpkin bread.

Blueberry Chia See Jam

While it is baking I will pour in 1 to 1 1/2 cup frozen blueberries (or berry of choice) into a saucepan with a splash of water (2-3 tbls) 1/2 a lemon juiced and 1-2 tbls monk fruit sweetener. Once the blueberries have simmered for about 5-10 minutes on a medium toss the mixture in a blender or use a hand emersion blender

(click here – this one is my favorite I literally use it all the time)

Mix in 1 tbls of chia seeds mix well and let it cool in a glass storage bowl. Stores in the fridge up to 10 days in the freezer up to 45 days.

Top with walnuts or pecans and pair it with a cup of bulletproof coffee (my favorite bulletproof coffee recipe here) and enjoy!

We all love it both bot and cold. Making it an easy meal prep breakfast on the go that your budget and body will thank you for (and keeps you out of the Starbucks drive-through which is not only expensive but can anyone say SUGAR RUSH!!

Starbucks coffees have more sugar and carbs than doughnuts, just imagine how much the actual food they serve contains!

Paleo Sheet Pan Pumpkin Pancakes

Recipe numero tres is the Paleo Sheet Pan Pumpkin Pancakes you came here for! The full recipe is below and it is as easy as throwing all the ingredients into your blender or using the hand mixer I linked to above then pouring the batter into a parchment-lined baking sheet pan or a greased regular ol’ baking dish and baking them.

Meal prepping or just in a rush in the mornings this recipe will become a go-to I am sure of it. It is also a great clean healthy carb alternative to sugary processed foods packed cereal for your kiddos (or you if you are still eating cereal lol).

Paleo Pumpkin Pancake – Brown Sugar Bunt Cake Style

And the final way we love to enjoy this recipe is as a clean carb paleo dessert after dinner. But again friends there is no box to stay in here. I give you full permission to have this for breakfast with coffee – or as a way to ditch the sugar if you are detoxing from sugar and carbs during the day for a snack.

Note: based on my research snacking is very hard on your digestive track not giving it the break it needs. Often snackers are overweight by up to 20 pounds a study reflected. So if you are a habitual snacker try a decaf bulletproof coffee or matcha latte instead to start to wean yourself off that habit.

To make the Paleo Brown Sugar Butter Glaze

Add 1/2 cup of monk fruit brown sugar to a small saucepan with 2 tbls of butter on low reduce the butter down until it starts to become a caramel consistency. Add the glaze to your bunt cake and sprinkle a little brown sugar for looks and bam!

Easy. Peezy Paleo Pumpkin Bunt Cake Dessert you are sure to love!

Conclusion

OK, so there you have it 4 delicious ways to use this Paleo Pumpkin Pancake recipe that will hit the spot and give you loads of energy when you eat clean carbs.

Dirty carbs such as processed foods, gluten, “frankin’-foods” – fake foods cooked up in labs to get you addicted) or high sugar carbs will give you an insulin and glucose spike and crash and have been proven to send signals to your brain to “keep eating” leading people to habitually overeat.

Food is Medicine or it is Poison.

It is either healing and nourishing us or slowly leading to disease-causing illnesses killing people- there is really no grey area.
