Fluffy Oatmeal Pumpkin Pancakes

Fluffy Oatmeal Pumpkin Pancakes, a delicious breakfast or brunch treat this Fall. Incredibly easy to make, these pancakes can be enjoyed by the whole family. Bonus point, they are healthy, gluten free, and only 7g carbs per pancakes. My pumpkin pancakes can be a treat for Thanksgiving, or, why not, all through the Fall. Swap the pumpkin for sweet potatoes or squash, and you can enjoy these pancakes all year around too. So delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup fine oatmeal for porridge (or store bough oatmeal flour)
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or mixed spice
  • 2 eggs, beaten well
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • oil or butter to cook the pancakes
  • honey or maple syrup to serve

Instructions

  • Place the oats in a food processor and process to a fine, flour texture.
  • Add the oatmeal flour to a bowl together with the pumpkin puree, beaten eggs, milk, vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Mix well, and set aside for 10-15 minutes for the batter to thicken.
  • Add a few drops of oil to a non-stick pan, then add about half of a laddle of batter, flattening it up in a circle.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes then flip it over to the other side and cook for a further 1 minute or so.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, adding oil before each pancake.

Notes

  • if you use regular oatmeal for porridge, add it to a food processor to get a fine oatmeal flour, unless you already use store-bought oatmeal flour, in which case you can add it straight to the bowl
  • leave the batter to sit for about 10-15 minutes so  it can thicken up, the oats will soak up all the liquid and have the right consistency for the pancakes
