Here's what you need to make these oil-free Vegan Pumpkin Pancakes.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • whole wheat white flour: Or you can use regular whole wheat flour.

  • all-spice
  • powdered ginger

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Here are step-by-step instructions with photos.

Cook the pancakes in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. For each pancake, use a ⅓ measuring cup to transfer the batter to the skillet.

When the bottom of each pancake is lightly browned and the edges are crispy, flip and cook on the other side. Repeat until you have used up all the batter.

Top tips

  • Between batches, remove the skillet from the heat for a few seconds while you add the next batch of batter. This will help keep your skillet from getting too hot and burning the pancakes.
  • If the skillet is still too hot, try turning down the heat ever so slightly between batches.
  • Turn your oven onto low heat (150F or 100C) and place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet so that they stay warm until it's time to serve.

Variations

Want to change these pumpkin pancakes up with add-ins? Check out these options.

  • Chocolate Chips - Because everything is better with chocolate!
  • Blueberries - Think pumpkins and blueberries don't go together? Think again! This is a delicious combo. Either fresh or frozen blueberries will do.
  • Apples - Grab a tart apple, chop it into small chunks, and fold the apple into the batter for the ultimate Fall Pancake combo!

Equipment

For this recipe, you'll need a mixing bowl and a skillet. Having a good spatula or flipper will also help. I also like to use a ⅓ measuring cup to transfer the pancakes to the skillet.

All of my favorite products and kitchen tools can be found in my Amazon shop.

How to serve

Serve these vegan pumpkin pancakes with maple syrup, pecans, and berries--or whatever toppings you like! They would taste great topped with this Chia Berry Jam!

Pancakes are obviously great for breakfast, but they also make a fun breakfast-for-dinner meal. Or make mini pancakes and add them to a packed lunch.

Storage

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Or freeze for up to three months. This recipe can easily be doubled and frozen for easy make-ahead breakfasts. Just defrost and reheat the pancakes in the microwave, on a skillet, or in a toaster.
