Pumpkin Pancakes

It's that time of year... all things Pumpkin! Last year, I wrote up this Pumpkin Latte recipe, this year, it's pancakes and Pumpkin Power Bread.  There were lots of of Pumpkin Pancake recipes out there, so I combined a bunch and this is what I got! As it turns out, this recipe is Vegan!

Ingredients:
3/4c whole wheat flour

Pumpkin Pancakes

1T sugar
1tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp pumpkin spice
1/3 c pureed pumpkin
1/2 tsp vanilla
3/4 c Almond milk (coconut or cow's milk would work too)

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl, then add pumpkin, milk and vanilla. Stir until just mixed. Batter will be thick (like biscuits). Heat griddle or fry pan on Medium heat, using a little non-stick spray, oil or butter. Spoon batter into pan. Cook 4 minutes on each side. Makes about 4 pancakes (2 servings).

Serve with real maple syrup and chopped pecans or walnuts!

Note: These are really dense and filling. You really only need 2 pancakes! Remember there is no oil in the batter (as is typical with pancakes), so using a little fat in your pan is necessary! I used coconut oil, which also added delicious flavor!
