Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted) or melted butter
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or additional oil/butter for greasing
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil (or butter) until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; some lumps are okay. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense pancakes.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray, oil, or butter.
Scoop 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading slightly into a circular shape.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of Greek yogurt. Enjoy!
