Butternut Squash Pancakes
Description
These pancakes incorporate mashed roasted butternut squash combined with almond or coconut milk, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract for sweetness and moisture. The batter includes all-purpose gluten-free flour, baking powder, kosher salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg, creating a spiced, tender pancake. After blending all ingredients smooth and letting the batter rest, the pancakes are cooked in a lightly oiled skillet until edges are firm and bubbles rise, then flipped to finish cooking.
Served with plain yogurt, additional maple syrup, and chopped walnuts, these pancakes provide balance between creamy, sweet, and crunchy elements. The use of warm spices complements the natural flavor of the squash. This makes a comforting and nutrient-rich meal suitable for mornings that call for something a bit different than plain pancakes.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butternut squash mashed, roasted
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 2/3 cup almond milk or coconut milk, unsweetened
- 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1 cup all-purpose flour gluten free
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
For serving:
- PLAIN yogurt
- walnuts chopped
- pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients for the pancakes to a blender. Blend until completely combined. Allow batter to sit 10 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium with enough oil to coat the surface.
- Pour a scant 1/4 cup of pancake batter on the hot skillet and cook about 2 minutes, until the sides have firmed up and air bubbles rise to the surface. Flip and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve pancakes with yogurt, maple syrup, chopped nuts, and/or your choice of nut butter.
