Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats (can use gluten-free oats)
- 1 ¼ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For serving: pure maple syrup and whipped cream, optional
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
To keep pancakes warm, place in a single layer on a large baking sheet and place in a 200°F oven.
