These Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes are on repeat in our kitchen this fall! They are light, fluffy, and so easy to make! Packed with warming spices and finished with a drizzle of maple syrup!
To a medium bowl, add milk and vinegar. Mix and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
1 cup soy milk, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Batter
Next, to your buttermilk, add eggs, pumpkin puree, sugar, and oil. Mix until well combined.
1 cup pumpkin puree, 2 medium eggs, 3 tablespoon granulated sugar, 3 tablespoon oil of choice
To a separate bowl add the dry ingredients- flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix well.
2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, A pinch of salt
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and use a spatula or a wooden spoon to gently mix together. Be sure to NOT overmix! Having a few clumps is okay and even recommended.
Cooking
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil. Once hot, reduce the heat to low. Pour ¼ cup batter and use the cup to form a circle. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Once the edges appear dry and there are bubbles at the top, flip gently. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the rest of the batter until all pancakes are done.
Serve immediately and top with desired toppings. We like maple syrup, yogurt (plant-based or regular), and toasted pecans.
