These pancakes don’t just look delicious, they’re a great way to sneak in some immune boosting Vitamin A while enjoying the seasonal produce of Autumn!

This mouth-watering recipe is from Emily at One Lovely Life.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups certified gluten-free old fashioned oats (rolled oats)
1 cup milk (I used unsweetened almond milk, but cashew milk, oat milk, and dairy milk work too!)
3/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 eggs
3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 Tablespoons melted butter (can also use ghee, coconut oil or dairy-free butter)
2 teaspoons apple c***r vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

INSTRUCTIONS
Blend the oats. Start by blending the oats into an oatmeal flour. Put oats into your blender and puree until a fine powder.
Combine the rest of the ingredients. Scrape down the sides of the blender and add milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, syrup, butter or oil, apple c***r vinegar, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon. and nutmeg. Puree 20-30 seconds, or until fully combined and evenly blended. Pause to scrape down the sides of the blender, as needed.
Let mixture rest for about 5 minutes while you heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Grease the skillet with a little extra butter, ghee, oil, or cooking spray.
Cook the pancakes. Scoop or pour the batter into skillet (I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup for this). Cook pancakes 3-5 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip pancakes and cook another 1-2 minutes or until deep golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Repeat with remaining batter. If your pancakes are having a tough time cooking through or are coming out too thick, add an additional splash of milk to the batter.
Serve & store. Enjoy pancakes warm with syrup, toasted pecans, a dollop of yogurt, or your favorite toppings. Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge 2-3 days.

When’s the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes? 😬

Most of us are guilty of neglecting them, so don’t feel bad if you suddenly went, “Shoot! I’m supposed to clean those??”

The next obvious question is: How often? In order to prevent buildup of sebum, dead skin, and bacteria (which could lead to acne, rashes, and infections), makeup brushes should be washed anywhere from daily to a couple times a month. If you use cream/liquid makeup and/or struggle with acne/breakouts, more is better. If you don’t struggle and/or use powders, less is fine.

More benefits to keeping your brushes clean:
✔️ They will last you longer
✔️ Your skin will thank you
✔️ Your makeup will apply much more smoothly and evenly

Some additional tips to effectively cleaning your brushes:
🫧 Use warm or lukewarm water - too hot can be drying
🫧 If you don’t have a brush cleanser, use a light shampoo or gentle facial cleanser
🫧 Once the brushes are dry, fluff them up by gently brushing them through a towel
🫧 You may need to repeat the cleansing process if a) it has been awhile since you washed your brushes or b) there is still significant buildup on the bristles.

Thanks so much to Elate Beauty and Kate Dion Makeup for the wonderful video tutorial and cleaning tips! 💕
