Pumpkin season is in full swing and it’s a season I wholeheartedly embrace every single year. I adore pumpkin and I adore breakfast so why not combine the two and focus on deliciously healthy pumpkin breakfast recipes for today’s blog post!?

I’ve always enjoyed trying my best to find ways to give my morning meal a little more staying power by increasing the protein and fiber content in my breakfast recipes (oh hi banana bread protein pancakes + collagen baked oatmeal) and many of the pumpkin breakfast recipes I’m sharing with you today are recipes created to taste good but they have the added benefit of being good for you, too! A double whammy!

Pumpkin isn’t only used for pumpkin pie anymore, as its popularity has increased like crazy over the years. It’s now used in everything from coffee drinks and pancakes to chili recipes and more!

Plus, they’re lower in sugar than your standard recipe, dairy-free, and kid-approved. I love to prepare a big batch at the start of the week for grab-and-go breakfast on busy days! And for those who like to meal prep and make large batches of food at one time, they freeze really well, too!

Who doesn’t love pancakes, especially when they’re infused with the flavors of fall?
