Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup pumpkin purée
- 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons sunflower oil (or neutral oil)
- 1½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Whisk the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and fully blended.
2. Sift the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
3. Make the Batter
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined—don’t overmix! The batter will be thick, which is perfect for fluffy pancakes.
4. Preheat Your Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over low to medium heat. Lightly grease it if necessary.
5. Cook the Pancakes
Scoop about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Gently spread into a circle. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming and the edges firm up.
Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Stack the pancakes high, drizzle generously with maple syrup, and top with chopped pecans or a dusting of cinnamon for that perfect cozy touch.
