Jen Selter Is HERE For Halloween With Her Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe

Fitness trainer Jen Selter is ready for Halloween with her recipe for pumpkin pancakes!

The 30-year-old fitness guru doesn't just love to exercise. She also loves to create healthy recipes too! She recently decided to get into the spirit of the season and share her recipe for healthy pumpkin pancakes before the spooky season really gets underway!

Although many carve pumpkins for Halloween, not everyone thinks about eating them! According to Healthline, pumpkins are highly nutritious and packed with beta-carotene, a carotenoid that your body converts into vitamin A. Its high antioxidant content can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases and even lower cancer risk. It is also packed with potassium, vitamin C, and fiber, which can benefit heart health.

In her latest Instagram post, Jen donned a white crop top and black jeans as she assembled a long row of white ceramic bowls shaped like hearts on her counter. Each one contained a different ingredient for peak organization.

Jen combines most of the ingredients into her BlendJet and gives it a whirl before heading over to the stove to cook her pancakes. After topping them with chocolate chips, Jen does a little dance while waiting for them to cook.

After topping them with cream, she then cuts them in half to show off a delicious stack of hearty pancakes. She finishes it off with a few chopped walnuts and a drizzle of maple syrup. She heads out onto the balcony to dig into her breakfast, giving it two thumbs up of approval.

“Say hello to your new fall fav: Nutritious Pumpkin Pancakes that taste as good as they are for you! They’re packed with wholesome ingredients that make indulging feel good,” she wrote in the caption, adding the list of ingredients:

- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
