GF Dairy/Free Egg/FreePumpkin Pancakes

Want to know what my family has been living off of for breakfasts lately?  Pumpkin pancakes.  I love the fall, this recipe makes it feel like the season has arrived.  Bonus: high fiber, lots of vitamin A and low sugar makes this recipe great for building up your kid's immunity against back to school cold and flu bugs.
