Those look amazing – they’re going straight to my meal plan for the week.
Fall themed pancakes yay! Those look fantastic! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
drooling over here!
ahhh these look delicious. Another can’t wait to try!
Mmm… I just tried these this morning – along with a batch of homeade pumpkin butter – so good! These are definitely getting added to my list of staple breakfasts! Just a question, though – the link to the site for making the crockpot pumpkin butter has 2 cups of sugar – what would be the agave nectar equivalent? Would love to do it that way and can it for Christmas gifts this year 🙂
Hi Chrystal,
So glad everything worked out! I agree it’s absolutely delicious and I definitely NEED to get some pumpkin things going this year so thanks for the reminder.
You would use 2/3 cup for every 1 cup of sugar in the recipe so 1 1/3 cup Agave Nectar.
Good luck, I can’t wait to hear how it turns out!

Thanks Danica – I’ll be giving that a try soon 🙂 I LOVE pumpkin! I even made a clean pumpkin pie yesterday with a beautiful almond crust – so good! I had a very pumpkin-y day!
Sounds and looks yummy but please don ‘t tell me you were able to find “maple flakes”… never heard of them… LOL
Hi Nancy,
Here are the maple flakes I get. I have only ordered them on amazon and directly from their website before. I absolutely love them as they are completely versatile….in baking, on oatmeal, in Greek Yogurt. A little goes a long way and they are 100% pure maple goodness.

They look GGRRREEAT! will have them in the am. It was a hard week down .6 down is down. love your site.
Danica, these look delicious! I was wondering how I can go about figuring out the Nutritonal Values of meals that I make at home. Is there a formula or program that you use?
Thanks so much or your postings. I love your site and I love how detailed you are 🙂
Hi Kathy,
I use caloriecount.com. I calculate all the stats under recipe analyzer. You can adjust it for ingredients, serving size, etc. Once you get used to how the sit works then it is fairly quick to use. It is free to join their website and it has a lot of great features. Two other sites I’ve used are myfitnesspal.com and sparksrecipes.com. However, caloriecount.com is my favorite especially because it analyzes how healthy the recipe is for you.
For a quick points+ only calculation I will use Weight Watchers e-tools.
Thanks for asking and I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I fell behind on emails this weeek.
Danica
Danica, I’m assuming the recipe for the Pumpkin Pancakes is for 4 servings (meaning 1 pancake is 2 points+), correct? Can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks!
Hi Vonda,
Yes, they are 2 points+ per pancake or 8 points+ for all 4, excluding an points+ for your toppings.
Enjoy!
Danica
Do you count flax seeds as simply filling??
Hi Suzanne,
Yes, I count flax as a whole grain and as Simply Filling.
Danica
These look delicious! I am absolutely loving pancakes lately and tested a new recipe this morning 🙂
