Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- ⅔ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free if desired
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For Cooking
- Olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Preheat and Prepare Griddle: Lightly coat a griddle with olive oil, coconut oil, or vegan butter and place over medium heat. Once the griddle is hot, proceed to cooking.
- Cook Pancakes: Add about 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake. Since the batter is thick, use a spoon to spread it slightly. Cook for 2-4 minutes until pancakes puff up slightly and bubbles appear on the edges.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook until golden brown on the other side. Adjust heat to medium-low if pancakes brown too fast, and avoid smoking griddle by wiping and re-oiling if necessary.
- Serve: Makes 6 pancakes total, serving 3 people with 2 pancakes each. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- You can substitute the individual spices with 1 ½ teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice for convenience.
