Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes

Guest blog and recipe by Annie Siegfried @annie_siegfried.

There’s something comforting about the scent of pumpkin and cinnamon wafting through the kitchen on a crisp morning. These fluffy pumpkin pancakes aren’t just a delicious breakfast treat—they’re also packed with nutrients and powered by Just Thrive Probiotic, designed to support your digestive, immune, and total body health from the inside out.

Each bite delivers the perfect balance of warm autumn flavor, wholesome ingredients, and science-backed gut support.

The Health Benefits Behind the Ingredients

Pumpkin Purée

Pumpkin is a nutrient-dense superfood rich in fiber, vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants like beta-carotene. Its natural sweetness and creamy texture make it perfect for healthier baking and breakfast recipes. Fiber supports digestive health, while antioxidants help protect your body from oxidative stress.

Coconut Sugar

A more natural alternative to refined sugar, coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index, meaning it may have less of an impact on blood sugar levels. It also contains trace minerals like zinc and iron and offers a subtle caramel-like sweetness that pairs beautifully with pumpkin and cinnamon.

Cinnamon

This beloved spice does more than just add warmth—it’s known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and it may help support balanced blood sugar levels.

Just Thrive Probiotic & Antioxidant

Unlike many probiotics that struggle to survive the journey through the digestive tract, Just Thrive Probiotic & Antioxidant uses spore-based strains proven to arrive alive in the gut 100% of the time. These beneficial microbes help balance the gut microbiome, support immune function, and even produce antioxidants right where your body needs them most.

By adding the contents of three capsules directly to the batter (yes, they even survive cooking/baking!), you’re transforming a classic breakfast into a functional meal that nourishes your gut while delighting your taste buds.

A Pancake with Purpose

These pancakes are proof that comfort food can be functional. They’re soft, satisfying, and infused with ingredients that help you feel as good as they taste. Whether you’re looking to support your gut health, enjoy a cozy fall breakfast, or simply indulge a little smarter, these fluffy pumpkin pancakes deliver on all fronts.

Pair them with a cup of warm tea or coffee, and you’ve got yourself a nourishing morning ritual your body (and taste buds) will thank you for.

Also, these pancakes would make an excellent start to your Thanksgiving day celebration. Get into the holiday spirit and surprise your family with something everyone will love on the big morning. Enjoy and happy Thanksgiving!
