INGREDIENTS FOR FLUFFY PUMPKIN PANCAKE
- Pumpkin puree – canned or homemade
- All-purpose flour
- Oat milk
- Coconut sugar
- Coconut oil
- Flax egg
- Pumpkin spice
- Vanilla essence
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
Making a flax egg: Add one tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal to three tablespoons of water. Mix and let stand for about 15 minutes in the fridge to thicken and become nice and gooey.
Non-Vegan alternatives: Not vegan? You can easily substitute the oat milk and flax egg for regular dairy milk and an egg.

Instructions For Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes
- Prepare your flax egg and place it in the fridge to set it before gathering your other ingredients.
- Mix your dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, coconut sugar, pumpkin spice, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix to combine.
- In a smaller bowl, you want to combine your wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, vanilla essence, melted coconut oil, oat milk, and flax egg.
- Add your wet mixture to your dry mixture. Mix until combined but do not go overmix.
- Your mixture will look thick, but this will help make them nice and thick.
- Place a non-stick pan on the stove at medium heat. Let it get nice and hot. Add some coconut oil to the pan and add roughly 1/2 cup of batter to the pan.
- Use the back of the measuring cup to smooth out your mixture into the roundest shape possible.
- Because your pancakes will be thick, you need to let them cook properly, a good 3-4 minutes per side on low-medium heat.
Note: As your pan is on the stove, it will start retaining heat, so adjusting the temperature lower generally becomes necessary.
If I were to leave my pan on medium heat the entire time, the pancakes would brown quickly on the outside but be raw on the inside.
