Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 3/4 tsp Pumpkin Spice (or cinnamon)
- 1 cup Almond Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree
Flax Egg
- 1 tbsp Ground Flax
- 2.5 tbsp Water
Caramelized Apples (optional)
- 2 Apples, peeled and cut into thin slices ~1/4"
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients for the flax egg in a small bowl and set aside to thicken.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients and whisk together, eliminating any large clumps.
- Combine all of the wet ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
- Over medium-low heat, add ~1/2 tsp of vegan butter or coconut oil to a nonstick frying pan or griddle. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan for each pancake. When bubbles begin to rise in the pancakes and the bottom is golden, flip with a spatula and cook until golden (approximately ~2 minutes on each side).
- Serve, or place on an ovenproof plate in a 200F° oven for up to 15 minutes to keep warm.
- Serve with maple syrup, fruit, yogurt, chocolate chips, or even plain!
Optional Caramelized Apples
- In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, add the coconut oil and sliced apples and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in brown sugar and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until the apples are soft.
- Remove from the heat and serve!
Notes
This recipe makes 6-7 pancakes
Tips:
Usually the first batch of pancakes will need a higher heat as the pan comes to the perfect temperature. Adjust the heat as necessary until the pancakes are perfectly golden on each side
Recipe Substitutions
- Gluten-Free Flour: If you are not sensitive to gluten, you can substitute the gluten-free flour with regular flour in this recipe.
- Flax Egg: These pumpkin pancakes are made without eggs. If you would like to use eggs, simply substitute 1 egg for the flax egg.
- Milk: You can use any regular or non-dairy milk you’d like!
- Pumpkin Spice: If you do not have pumpkin spice, you can use cinnamon instead
- Vegan Butter: I like to use Earth Balance Vegan Butter, but you can always use regular butter if you prefer.
