1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp baking soda
1 tsp pumpkin spice
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup almond milk
1/3 cup pumpkin purée
1 egg egg, room temperature
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
2 tbsp pecans, chopped
- Optional Cinnamon Swirl
1.5 tbsp coconut sugar
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
2 tsp cinnamon
Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk almond milk, pumpkin purée, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract and coconut oil.
- Add flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt. Mix until there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, combine ingredients for cinnamon swirl. Put it off to the side.
- Let batter sit for ~ 10 minutes (so they will cook nice and fluffy!)
- Grease a pan (I used a mini pancake skillet) and heat over medium.
- Add batter, top with crushed pecans, and drizzle the cinnamon mixture in a circular manner onto the pancakes.
- Cook for 2-3 min (until small bubbles form) then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed. If necessary, dial the heat down to prevent burning the pancakes. Serve the pancakes immediately
- Serve immediately.
