Method

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, coconut oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, and vanilla.

  2. Beat in the eggs. If the coconut oil solidifies, warm the mixture in the microwave for short bursts, stirring in between, until melted.

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.

  4. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.

  5. Using a large spoon, stir until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Avoid overmixing.

  6. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes.

  7. Heat a heavy cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Alternatively, heat an electric griddle to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  8. Lightly oil the surface of the pan with coconut oil, butter, or cooking spray. If using a non-stick electric griddle, oil may not be necessary.

  9. Once the pan is hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on it, pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan.

  10. Cook the pancake for about 3 minutes until bubbles start to form around the edges.

  11. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another 90 seconds or until both sides are golden brown. Adjust the heat as needed.

  12. Serve the pancakes immediately or keep them warm in a 200 degree Fahrenheit oven.

Frequently asked questions

. Can I use canned pumpkin puree for these pancakes?

Yes, absolutely! Canned pumpkin puree works great in this recipe. Just make sure to use 100% pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices.

. Can I substitute oats with another type of flour?

While oats are the star of this recipe, you can experiment with other flours if you prefer. Whole wheat flour or almond flour can be good alternatives. Just keep in mind that the texture and taste of the pancakes may vary.

. Can I make these pancakes gluten-free?

Yes, you can easily make these pancakes gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats or a gluten-free flour blend. Just make sure all your ingredients are labeled gluten-free to avoid any cross-contamination.

. Can I freeze the leftover pancakes?

Absolutely! These pancakes freeze well. Once they are completely cooled, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave until they are warm.

. Can I add toppings to these pancakes?

Of course! These pancakes are a blank canvas for your favorite toppings. You can go classic with maple syrup and butter, or get creative with fruits, nuts, and yogurt. The possibilities are endless!

. Can I make these pancakes vegan?

Definitely! You can easily make these pancakes vegan by using plant-based milk, such as almond milk or oat milk, and replacing the eggs with a flaxseed or chia seed egg substitute. The result is still delicious and fluffy pancakes.

. How do I know when the pancakes are ready to flip?

Look for bubbles forming on the surface of the pancake before flipping. Once the edges start to look set and the bubbles pop, it's time to give them a flip. Cook for another minute or two on the other side until golden brown.

. Can I make a larger batch of these pancakes?

Absolutely! This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to make a larger batch. Just make sure you have a big enough griddle or pan to accommodate the extra pancakes.
