DELICIOUS VEGAN PUMPKIN PANCAKES
These babies turned out beautiful AND so tasty. I feel like sometimes I get one or the other, especially when I am using new ingredients. Going plant-based just meant a few simple swaps to a standard pumpkin pancake recipe. I love the idea of using nut milk! I’ve been skeptical in the past because- they can’t taste as good as real milk right!? But I have been pleasantly surprised at how much I really enjoy the taste.
So, I went to Target (you know you can always order stuff at Target.com too) and picked up this Silk AlmondMilk and a carton of So Delicious Unsweetened CoconutMilk. **sidenote: Make sure you download the Target app to save 10-15% on certain Silk and So Delicious brand items from 10/14/18-11/11/18 too!

Then I veered slightly off course when I saw this Hearth & Hand Set of 4 Wooden Plates and these kitchen towels, and these other kitchen towels- also by Hearth & Hand. You have to see all the Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia it is one of my favorite brands lately.
Back to the pancakes. I know I like the flavor of nut milk now, but…
Can you cook with AlmondMilk?
Only if you want the freshest tastiest food to eat- like ever! So, um- yes! You can totally cook with almondmilk. I actually added some coconutmilk to my recipe too. Go big or go home, right? Here is the recipe!
VEGAN Pumpkin Pancake Recipe
- 1 c.all purpose flour
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 c. pumpkin puree
- 3/4 c. coconut milk
- 2/3 c. almond milk
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Put the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and all the dry ground spices in a bowl and stir and smash gently with a fork until they are all sifted and well distributed.
- In a separate bowl mix the pumpkin, coconut, and almond milk until well combined and smooth.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir well. Add a little more coconut or almond milk to get your desired texture. The more liquidy- the thinner the pancake. Less liquidy is fluffier.
- Heat a skillet to medium and add a small drizzle of the olive oil each time you add batter.
- Flip when you see small bubbles appearing in the uncooked side.
- Serve warm with syrup, confectioners sugar or both!
A sprinkle of confectioners sugar adds a bit of whimsy. Add pumpkin seeds for texture and good plant-based protein too.
A drizzle of real maple syrup brings all the flavors of fall together for me- oooh- maybe a scattering of crushed pecans would be nice on top too!
This is a perfect Saturday morning Fall breakfast!
Who would say no to these!? No one in my house… but did I make enough to share? 🙂

You too can make this gorgeous seasonal treat- but might need to double the recipe to feed everyone. Because who doesn’t love a good stack of pancakes!?
