Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes
Description
This recipe uses old fashioned oats ground in a blender with almond milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, and warm spices such as cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. The blending creates a smooth batter that cooks into pancakes featuring a tender and slightly dense texture from the oats incorporated into the mix. The pumpkin contributes moisture and subtle flavor, accentuated by the aromatic spices.
Cooked on a lightly greased griddle, the pancakes develop a golden-brown exterior while remaining soft inside. They pair well with maple syrup and whipped cream, optional toppings that enhance their sweetness and creaminess. The pancakes can be kept warm on a baking sheet in a low oven until served.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats (can use gluten-free oats)
- 1 ¼ cups almond milk or milk of your choice, unsweetened vanilla
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 egg large
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- maple syrup optional, for serving, pure maple syrup, whipped cream
- Whipped Cream optional, for serving, pure maple syrup, whipped cream
Instructions
- Place the oats, milk, pumpkin, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth, about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Grease with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/3 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot griddle or skillet. Cook until small bubbles form all across the top of the pancakes, about 3 to 5 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve pancakes warm with maple syrup and whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a single layer on a baking sheet at 200°F until serving.
