Power-Up Pumpkin Oat Pancakes

Mornings just got a whole lot better with these fluffy pumpkin pancakes. Nothing says fall like pumpkins, and we know you typically use them as decorations, but let’s get creative and start incorporating them into our breakfast! Pumpkins are rich in vital antioxidants and vitamins giving these pancakes an extra boost of healthiness. The unique blend of spices and crunchy nut topping are key to making these packed with flavour. Start your day right with these pumpkin oat pancakes!  

1 cup pumpkin purée
¼ cup milk of choice
2 Tbsp coconut oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup oat flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground cloves 

Stir together pumpkin purée, milk, coconut oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, and vanilla. Beat in the eggs. In another bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Add in the wet ingredients, and stir just until the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined. Heat a frying pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface of your pan with coconut oil. Pour large spoonfuls of batter onto heated pan. Let the pancake cook 3-4 minutes, until you see bubbles beginning to form. (Pancakes will take longer to cook than regular wheat pancakes.) Flip once golden brown and cook on the other side until golden. Serve with toasted pecans and 100% pure maple syrup.
