How to Make Easy Pumpkin Pancakes:

Preheat griddle to 300 – 350 degrees
In a large bowl with pour spout, whisk pumpkin, milk, egg, oil, and almond extract
Add flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie seasoning
Stir until moistened, taking care to not over blend
Cook pancakes about 2 minutes per side. Serve with a touch of butter & pure maple syrup if desired

Get started by gathering your ingredients and a large mixing bowl with a pour spout (if possible).

What ingredients are in healthy pumpkin pancakes?

1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup milk (or almond milk for a dairy free version)
1 egg
2 tsp. Vegetable oil
1 tsp. Almond extract (or vanilla)
1 ½ cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
2 tsp. Baking soda
½ tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Pumpkin pie seasoning

Ever wonder the spices found in pumpkin pie seasoning? It is a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and allspice. Check out this recipe for Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice.Next, in the large bowl with pour spout, whisk canned pumpkin puree, milk, egg, oil, and almond extract.

PRO TIP: If preferred, add all ingredients into a blender and pulse to mix! Add flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie seasoning to the batter and stir until moistened.

PRO TIP: Be careful to not over blend the batter. The more you mix, the denser the pancakes will become. Less mixing is key to a fluffy pancake!

This is your chance to stir in any other ingredients you prefer. Between chocolate chips, chopped pecans and shredded coconut, you can get pretty creative with these pancakes!

When ready, cook the pancakes about 2 minutes per side.

Serve with a pat of butter, sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
