Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes

This is the pumpkin pancake recipe I make every weekend of fall! They’re soft and fluffy with a perfect subtle pumpkin flavor. Made in just one bowl and naturally gluten free, they're a must bake during the chilly weather months!

Ingredients

  • cup greek yogurt - plain and unsweetened
  • cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup oat milk - substitute any milk
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice - or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cup oat flour - store bought or homemade
  • 3 tablespoon coconut sugar - or brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Oil or butter - for cooking

Instructions

  • In a bowl, stir together the greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, eggs, oat milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until well blended.
    ⅔ cup greek yogurt - plain and unsweetened, ⅓ cup pumpkin puree, 2 eggs, 1 cup oat milk - substitute any milk, 2 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon lemon juice - or apple cider vinegar
  • Add the oat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and sea salt to the bowl and gently fold until no flour clumps remain. If adding mix-ins, fold them in now. Set the bowl aside so the batter can thicken up while the skillet heats up.
    2 cup oat flour - store bought or homemade, 3 tablespoon coconut sugar - or brown sugar, 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice, ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil or butter to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Once the pan is hot, use a ¼ measuring cup or a large cookie scoop to scoop the batter onto the pan. Depending on the size of your pan, I don’t recommend cooking any more than 3 pancakes at a time.
    Oil or butter - for cooking
  • Allow the pancakes to cook on the skillet until the edges puff up and little bubbles begin to appear inside the pancake (this will take 1 ½ - 3 minutes). Carefully flip each pancake over and allow them to cook on the other side for another minute. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve with butter, maple syrup, and optional toppings and enjoy!

Notes

Variations - add some chocolate chips, chopped pecans, extra pumpkin spice, chopped apples, blueberries, etc. to the batter for different flavors.
