Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
