Pumpkin Oat Pancakes

Pumpkin, oats, spices – in pancake form...Yes please. To make it even easier, you can literally throw everything into a blender and blend your way to some perfect pancakes. This is the epitome of lazy fall breakfasts, my friends. They are also gluten and oil free, with a no sugar option!? Yessir. This simple recipe is perfect for those mornings when you crawl out of bed, plop your feet into some fuzzy slippers and need a meal that makes you feel all snug and cozy on the inside.

Pumpkin Oat Pancakes [Vegan, Gluten Free]

Ingredients

• 1 cup oats/oat flour
• 1 cup dairy free milk, unsweetened
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
• 2 tablespoons preferred sweetener (sugar, maple syrup or agave, stevia)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

1. Preheat pan/griddle to medium-low heat
2. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth or add all ingredients to a medium mixing bowl and stir to combine. This will be thicker than typical pancake batter
3. Once your cooking surface has heated, pour or spoon batter onto surface (use a cooking oil spray or a tiny bit of oil if you're not using a non-stick pan). Using a spoon, push batter into a circular shape of even thickness
4. Allow to cook for 2-4 minutes before flipping - the edges will begin to brown up
5. Cook for another 2-4 minutes on the other side
6. Repeat until all batter is used
7. Top your pancakes with nuts, seeds, syrup, etc!
8. Enjoy!

Notes

If you're using a blender, you can use whole oats. If you're mixing the batter in a bowl, you'll need to use oat flour
