Pumpkin Pancakes are incredibly moist, yet still light and fluffy. Everybody will LOVE these pancakes that are so perfect for Autumn! In fact, you may want to double the recipe because they will disappear so fast! And you can always freeze leftover pancakes for another day. You can make them whole grain, oil free or even gluten free. They don’t have any added refined sugar, but are instead sweetened with pure maple syrup. I adapted this recipe from my popular Vegan Banana Pancakes, which I also suggest you make when you get the chance!
Ingredients needed (with substitutions)
Pumpkin puree – NOT pumpkin pie mix. Just pumpkin in a can. Soy milk – Or use any non-dairy milk. Water Oil – Only 2 tablespoons, but they work just as well with applesauce if you need an oil free option. Maple syrup – May substitute granulated sugar instead, or agave. Vanilla Flour – I made them with whole wheat pastry flour, but all purpose flour is fine as well. Or for gluten free use a gluten free mix. Baking powder Salt Ground cinnamon Ground ginger Ground nutmeg
How to make them
They are made in just 1 bowl in no time at all! You will love how easy the recipe is.
Tips for the best pumpkin pancakes
Use canned pumpkin. Fresh pumpkin can vary in terms of being watery or not, and may alter the recipe significantly. Don’t over mix the batter! This will result in dense, rubbery pancakes. A few lumps are really okay in pancake batter. If your batter seems too runny, add a few tablespoons of flour until it’s thick enough that you can produce a fairly thick and fluffy pancake. Unless you have a very good non-stick pan, make sure to grease your pan well to prevent sticking. Vegan butter, coconut oil or even spray oil works.
Serving suggestions
Serve with vegan butter and pure maple syrup (my personal favorite!) Vegan whipped cream (or store bought coco whip) A drizzle of Vegan Caramel Sprinkle on some chopped pecans Mini chocolate chips for pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes (you can mix some in the batter, too)
