Pumpkin Peanut Butter Pancakes [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened nut or coconut milk
• 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
• 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or other nut butter if peanut allergies are an issue)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons certified gluten-free buckwheat flour (all-purpose or whole wheat works fine as well)
• 2 tbsp almond flour (or oat flour, whole wheat flour, or more buckwheat flour)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch nutmeg
• Pinch pink Himalayan salt
• Pinch ginger (or freshly grated)
• Coconut oil or favorite vegan butter for the skillet

Preparation

1. Pour the cup of unsweetened milk and apple cider vinegar in a large bowl. Let it sit for five minutes.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients, in order, stirring in between the wet and dry ingredients to make sure they are evenly distributed –especially the peanut butter.
3. Heat the skillet to a medium-high heat. The higher the temperature, the higher the pancake will be, just make sure it doesn't burn! If it burns, it's too hot.
4. Pour on skillet in desired shape and cook on both sides. Repeat.

Notes

Freeze these pancakes and use them throughout the week! Because they are so dense, they make an excellent “McGriddle” bread. Just pour syrup on the pancakes while they’re warm, freeze, then throw in the toaster when you’re ready to use them!
