Separate the yolks from the whites of your eggs. Beat the whites until they form soft peaks. Set aside.
Whisk the yolks, canned pumpkin, vanilla, and maple syrup together.
Blend the almond meal, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together, then sift them into the wet ingredients. Stir until you have an evenly combined batter.
Gently fold beaten egg whites into the batter with a rubber spatula. Don't over mix. Once blended, drop onto heated skillet greased with ghee or coconut oil. If either of these are allergenic, use organic canola oil or safflower oil.
Serve with a dusting of cinnamon, a drizzle of honey or extra maple syrup, crumbled macadamia nuts, and a pat of ghee or butter. Yum!
