Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly thick.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil.

Step 5

Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if needed.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
