    Ingredients

    You’ll need just a handful of ingredients to make these eggless pumpkin pancakes. Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here’s a brief overview of what is used

    Wet Ingredients :  pumpkin puree ( store bought or home-made ),  milk – ( I used almond milk) ,  melted coconut oil or applesauce,  sweetener: maple syrup or coconut sugar

    Dry Ingredients : Flour – I used gluten-free all-purpose flour. You can use regular or whole wheat flour, oat flour, almond flour or cassava flour as well.  Baking powder and Salt are other ingredients.

    Seasoning : Store brought pumpkin spice mix. This rich and earthy seasoning is a fall must have. It is a dry powdered blend of cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg.

    Ingredients used in making this fall favorite vegan pumpkin pancake breakfast recipe.

    How to Make the Vegan Pumpkin Pancakes

    Making the pumpkin pancakes is super easy. Follow these quick step-by-step instructions.

    1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, almond milk, oil ( or applesauce ), sugar ( or other sweetener ) until smooth and well combined.
    2. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice seasoning mix to the bowl with the wet ingredients, and stir with a large spoon until combined.
    3. Do not over mix. A few small lumps may remain and are okay.
    4. Heat a large griddle or pan over medium-high heat. Grease the pan or spray with oil.
    5. Pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes.
    6. Repeat to make pancakes with all the remaining batter.
    7. Serve with maple syrup drizzled on top. Wonderful optional garnishes are fresh berries and fruit, pumpkin seeds, coconut cream and cinnamon, plant butter, chopped pecans, caramel, or chocolate sauce. Enjoy warm!

    How Do I Store the Leftovers?

    Got leftover pancake batter? You can easily store it for later. Just transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it if you’re planning to consume it within 3 days, or pop it in the freezer if you want it to last longer.

    You can also store make the pancakes, cool them down, freeze them individually, stack them with a layer of waxed paper between each pancake and then transfer them to a container or a freezer-safe bag. This can be a great way to always have a batch of vegan pumpkin pancakes ready for breakfast!

    All you need to do is get them out, place them on a baking tray, cover them with foil and bake for just a few minutes. You can also warm them on hot griddle for couple minutes each side until well heated.

    Pro Tips

    Ready to go ahead and give this recipe a try? Keep these little tips and tricks in mind.  So you get best results every time you make them.

    • If your pancake batter seems to have turned runny, you can add in a tablespoon or two of the flour and give it a good mix.
    • Make sure you use a well seasoned or nonstick pan to fry the pancakes. You don’t need to spread the pancake batter on the pan- let the batter do it on its own.
    • If you don’t fancy the taste and flavor of coconut, you can use practically any neutral tasting oil for the recipe. You can also sub apple sauce or nut butter for oil.
    • Don’t have almond milk? You can use oat milk, coconut milk, or soy milk instead. They are great alternatives if you’re trying to stick to a vegan breakfast.

    Serving Ideas and Suggestions

    Ready with your batch of pancakes? Here are some interesting ways to serve them and make your breakfast a fancy affair.

    These vegan pumpkin pancakes taste best when teamed up with some fresh fruits of your choice. They add a nice textural difference and a lot of nutritional value to your breakfast.

    Some chopped nuts like pecans, walnuts are great. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds also work beautifully.

    To lend your breakfast a little sweetness, drizzle some maple syrup, date syrup, or blackstrap molasses on the top, right before you serve. For a sweet and savory taste, serve it with Apple Ginger Chutney or Peach Chutney.

    Another excellent way to satisfy your sweet tooth with these pancakes is to spread a bit of berry jam on the pancakes. I love it with coconut cream drizzled with maple and vanilla.
