Pumpkin fritters

Cookinero 14 Dec 2022

Pumpkin pancakes will please both those who are trying to fill their diet with healthy dishes, and those who just love to eat tasty. A compromise, in general! Fritters contain an incredibly healthy pumpkin, rich in vitamins A, C, D, E, as well as iron, potassium and copper. In addition, it contains a lot of fiber, which has a beneficial effect on the digestive system, removes harmful substances and improves metabolism in general. And pumpkin is quite sweet, so sugar in the dough, in principle, can not be added at all. Pumpkin pancakes turn out to be less high-calorie than regular ones, so even those who follow the figure may well include them in the menu.
