Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour sifted if clumpy
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree unsweetened
  • 1 cup dairy-free milk such as almond or oat milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted coconut oil

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Skillet or griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, stir the pumpkin puree, dairy-free milk, and oil until smooth and combined.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
  4. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. When hot, spoon about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the surface.
  5. Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip carefully using a spatula.
  6. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through, emitting a fragrant aroma.
  7. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while repeating with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
  8. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite fall-inspired syrups, additional pumpkin, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
