Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1cup canned coconut milkUse the light version.
- 2teaspoons vanilla
- 2Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 1/4cups flourI used unbleached all purpose flour.
- 1/3cup potato starchThis adds fluffiness!
- 1Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2teaspoon salt
- 1/4teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4teaspoon allspice
- 1/8teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the coconut milk, the pumpkin, the vanilla, the maple syrup, and the grated ginger. Pulse until smooth and well combined.
- In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients.
- Make a well in the middle and stir in the liquid ingredients. Mix until combined but don’t over stir. It can be a little lumpy. It should be quite a thick batter,
- Now let this sit for 10 minutes before you cook the pancakes. This will ensure fluffiness and more even cooking!
- Heat a non-stick pan and spray it lightly with oil. If you want to make these with rings, make sure you spray the rings as well. I used crumpet rings but you could use a large, round cookie cutter or a ring used to cook eggs.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the ring or onto the pan. Do not pat down or smooth out. Cook at a medium low heat to ensure that the center gets cooked. This will take a few minutes. Do not flip pancake over until the batter starts to appear dry on the top. Check to see that the bottom is well browned before carefully flipping over.
- Continue cooking until bottom is well-browned and center seems fully cooked.
- Carefully remove from ring, if you are using one. These are delicious as they are, or serve with a little maple syrup drizzled over them.
Recipe Notes
I wanted to make these as thick and fluffy as possible so I used the rings that you might use to make crumpets. I put them on the pan and then sprayed the rings and pan lightly with oil and nothing stuck! You can also just spoon on to your pan! They are great toasted up later, too!
