INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1¼ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of your choice)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Cranberry Topping

  • 1 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place the oats, milk, pumpkin, eggs, honey, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth, about 30 to 60 seconds. 
     
  2. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Grease with nonstick cooking spray. 
     
  3. Pour about ⅓ cup of the pancake batter onto the hot griddle or skillet. Cook until small bubbles form all across the top of the pancakes, about 3 to 5 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter. 
     
  4. To make the cranberry topping: In a saucepan, add together all ingredients over medium-high heat, stirring until combined. Once cranberries begin to pop, continue stirring until mixture begins to thicken a bit and cranberries are broken down, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

VARIATIONS & TIPS

  • To keep pancakes warm, place in a single layer on a large baking sheet and place in a 200°F oven.
  • Be sure to use puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
  • You can wrap the pancakes in between waxed paper and then put in a freezer bag to enjoy later. Warm in the oven or microwave.
