Fluffy Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes
Fluffy Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes are hearty, wholesome and packed with fall flavor! They're ultra fluffy, so easy to make and are freezer friendly!
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 3/4 cups unsweetened almond milk or your favorite milk
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- maple syrup and pecans for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat a large nonstick griddle over medium heat.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs well with a whisk. Add the oil, pumpkin, milk and maple syrup and whisk well to combine.
- Add the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and pinch of salt and stir just until incorporated. Do not over mix as the pancakes will be tough!
- Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the preheated griddle (I like to use an ice cream scoop for this)and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles begin to form on the top and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Repeat the process until all of the batter has been used. Serve pancakes with warm maple syrup and pecans if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Whole wheat flour makes makes these pumpkin pancakes extra hearty and lends a delicious, nutty flavor. It may be substituted with the same amount of white whole wheat flour, or you may use a combination of half whole wheat flour and half all purpose flour for a lighter texture.
- If you don't have a nonstick pan or griddle, use melted butter, oil or cooking spray to ensure that the pancakes don't stick to the pan.
- Freezer instructions. Cool the pancakes completely on a wire rack in a single layer, then place the entire rack in the freezer (this keeps the pancakes from sticking together). Once frozen, place in a zip top bag for up to 3 months. To heat, pop in the toaster on a light setting until heated through and enjoy!
