Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Whole-wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (or olive oil)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole-wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and coconut oil until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the hot cakes dense.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or non-stick spray, if necessary.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each hot cake. Use a spoon to spread the batter into a circular shape, if needed.
Cook the hot cakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set. Flip the hot cakes gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked hot cakes to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the pumpkin hot cakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein.
