    It’s pumpkin season! That time of year where the leaves start to change, there’s a bite in the air and everything suddenly becomes pumpkin spiced.

    I love how easy this recipe is. Here is how to make delicious vegan pumpkin pancakes full of fall flavors.

    This recipe is

    • Vegan & Vegetarian
    • Egg free
    • Dairy Free
    • Healthy
    • Quick & Easy
    • Can easily be made gluten free

    Ingredients

    • All purpose flour – You can use whole wheat pastry flour, or whole wheat flour as well, if you’d like to make these a bit healthier and add more protein.
    • Vinegar – We’re mixing apple cider vinegar in with our plant milk to make vegan buttermilk. This will give a delicious taste to the pancakes, as well as making them really fluffy, because the vinegar will react with the baking soda to create lift. If you don’t have vinegar, use lemon juice.
    • Plant milk – Use whatever dairy free milk is your favorite. Oat milk, soy milk, almond milk and coconut milk all work great!
    • Maple syrup – This is my sweetener of choice. You can also use brown sugar instead.
    • Pumpkin puree
    • Baking soda & baking powder – This gives the pancakes lift for a light and fluffy texture.
    • Pumpkin pie spice
    • Vanilla Extract

    Recipe tips

    Stir the dry ingredients well, before adding in the wet ingredients, to ensure it’s mixed well.

    After mixing the pancake batter, let it sit for five minutes for best results. This will give the vinegar time to react with the baking soda to make super fluffy pancakes.

    Don’t over mix the batter! It will make the pancakes tough.

    If you’re not using a non-stick pan, then use a little more butter in between cooking the batches.

    Let your pan or electric griddle heat up, with vegan butter or oil, for at least five minutes, before putting the batter on the frying pan. Don’t flip until the bubbles in the batter have mostly popped. This will ensure the pancakes come out perfect and golden brown. This should take about 3-4 minutes, depending on your heat.

    Make sure to not put the pan on too high of heat. A low and slow cooking for pancakes is best. Use medium low heat.

    To keep the pancakes warm, place them on a baking sheet in the oven on low. You can also cover them with a towel, or place them in an airtight container until you’re ready to eat them.

    Mix ins and toppings

    If you’d like to jazz up these fluffy vegan pumpkin pancakes, feel free to add some of these item to the pancake mix

    • dairy free chocolate chips
    • toasted chopped pecans
    • top the pancakes with some dairy free yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup or dairy free whipped cream.

    FAQ’s

    Can I freeze these pancakes?

    Yes! Leftover pancakes are great to freeze. Just make a big batch. Then set them on a baking tray, spread out. Let them freeze like that first, for a few hours. Then transfer them to a freezer friendly bag, separated by parchment paper. This will ensure they don’t freeze sticking together.

    Can I make these gluten free?

    These pancakes can easily be made gluten free by using gluten free flour. Be warned, they won’t turn out as fluffy and may come out a bit gummy.

    Bob’s red mill has a great gluten free all purpose flour. You can also use oat flour. Also check to make sure your all of your other ingredients are gluten free, if you have a severe gluten allergy.

    If you don’t have a gluten allergy, I highly recommend using all purpose or whole wheat flour instead.

    How do I reheat leftover pancakes?

    Leftover pancakes reheat really well in a toaster oven. Place them in there for a few minutes, until they’re warmed through.

    Ingredients

    US Customary or Metric
    • 1 cup dairy free milk
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    • 1½ cups all purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie seasoning
    • Pinch of salt
    • ½ cup pumpkin puree
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • Handful of Pecans

    Instructions

    • Place Apple Cider Vinegar in Soymilk. This will create buttermilk and react with the baking soda to make your pancakes nice and fluffy
      1 cup dairy free milk, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    • In a large mixing bowl, add all of the dry ingredients and stir well.
      1½ cups all purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie seasoning, Pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder

      ½ cup pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • Add the vegan buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until it's mixed just enough. Don't over mix. Let batter sit for at least 5 minutes so the baking soda does its thing to make these fluffy
    • Warm up a pan on medium low heat for 5 minutes. Oil the pan with vegan butter. The trickiest part about pancakes is keeping the heat at the right temp so you don't burn the outside and leave the inside gooey. Make sure to keep the heat at medium low
      Handful of Pecans
    • Pour batter onto pan. Put pecans on top. Let each side cook for at least 3 minutes each, until you start seeing air bubbles.

    Notes

     
    Make sure to keep your heat on medium low and don’t be in a rush to flip them before you see the bubbles.
    Let the batter sit for 5 minutes before pouring into the pan. This gives the baking soda time to react with the vinegar so they get nice and fluffy.
