Pumpkin pancakes are a delightful seasonal treat, perfect for cozy autumn mornings or any time you crave a flavorful breakfast. Made with wholesome ingredients like canned pumpkin, coconut flour, and a blend of warm spices, these pancakes are both nutritious and delicious. Follow this simple recipe to achieve fluffy, aromatic pancakes that will leave you wanting more.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs until well beaten.
- Add the canned pumpkin, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the eggs. Continue to whisk until all wet ingredients are smoothly combined.
- In another bowl, mix the coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet mixture, stirring continuously. Ensure that there are no lumps and the batter is smooth. Coconut flour absorbs moisture quickly, so if the batter thickens too much, you can add a little water or additional pumpkin to achieve your desired consistency.
- Place a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
- Once the skillet is hot, use a ladle or measuring cup to pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Spread the batter into evenly sized circles.
- Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Then, flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
- Continue with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.
- Once all pancakes are cooked, serve them warm with extra maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or your favorite toppings.
Enjoy your delicious homemade pumpkin pancakes! Whether you top them with a pat of butter, a drizzle of syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, these pancakes are sure to become a family favorite.
