Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

Buttermilk

  • 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.
