Ingredients

• Pancakes or waffles – I used this brand of grain-free pancake mix. To make pumpkin pancakes using the full box, I added 1/2 cup of pumpkin purée to the recipe and replaced the whole eggs with 4 egg yolks total (because I have trouble digesting the egg whites). I also added 1/2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice.
• Sweet – O Organics grain-free granola, O Organics maple syrup, O Organics honey, jams, apple butter (recipe below), and seasonal fruit like sliced apple, pear, or persimmon
• Savory – nut butter, pumpkin seeds, pecans, walnuts, nitrate-free bacon, or breakfast patties
• Optional – cinnamon sticks and/or star anise for aromatics and decoration

Slow Cooker Apple Butter

• 4 medium apples (fuji, gala, honeycrisp, or golden delicious work best because of their natural sweetness!)
• 1/3 cup of water
• 3–4 tbsp of maple syrup or to taste
• 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon or to taste
• 1/8 tsp of ground ginger optional
• 1/8 tsp of ground clove or nutmeg optional

Slow Cooker Apple-Pear Butter

• 2 medium pears
• 2 medium apples
• 1/4 cup of water
• 3–4 tbsp of maple syrup or to taste
• 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon or to taste
• 1/8 tsp of ground ginger optional
• 1/8 tsp of ground clove or nutmeg optional
