Pumpkin fritters are delicious for breakfast, lunch or even as a snack. Plus, they only take about 15 minutes to make. You can make them ahead of time and freeze individually—just defrost in the refrigerator overnight, then add to your kid's lunchbox the next day.
When shopping for ingredients, look for canned pumpkin that doesn't contain any added sugars.
