What You Need for Pumpkin Pancakes
- White Whole Wheat Flour: this pumpkin pancakes recipe call for a 100% whole grain flour, which is hearty and better for you than enriched white flour. While whole wheat flour is a favorite to bake with because it’s not as heavy as classic whole wheat flour.
- Pumpkin Puree: Pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamin A and has a good amount of protein and fiber. PS: make sure to use unsweetened pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin pie filling (easy to mix up!)
- Coconut Oil: this recipe calls for only 2 tablespoons of oil and coconut oil is such a great healthy fat addition to moisten up these pancakes even more!
- Maple Syrup: instead of white sugar or brown sugar, we opted for our favorite all-natural sugar, maple syrup! A little bit of maple syrup goes a long way and bring out all the glorious flavors of the pumpkin pie spice!
Ingredient Swaps
Flour: Try swapping the white whole wheat flour for normal whole wheat flour, oat flour, or gluten-free baking flour. We do NOT recommend swapping the flour for a nut flour such as coconut or almond.
Pumpkin Puree: Don’t have pumpkin puree on hand? Try applesauce, butternut squash puree, or sweet potato puree!
Maple Syrup: Use another liquid sweetener such as honey or agave in place of the maple syrup.
Egg: While we haven’t tested a vegan method, try swapping the 2 eggs out for 2 flax eggs.
Toppings
Don’t forget about the toppings! No pancake is complete without its toppings. Here are our recommendations:
- Coconut whipped cream
- Cinnamon
- Nuts: walnuts or pecans
- Maple syrup
- Nut Butter
How to Freeze Pancakes
To freeze these pumpkin pancakes, let them cool completely. Then, stack two of them together and tightly wrap them with a piece of plastic wrap. Then wrap them again with a piece of tin foil.
Place them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To thaw: remove them from the freezer and unwrap them. Then, let them thaw for 5 minutes on the freezer before pulling them apart. Defrost them in the microwave OR in your toaster.

I really enjoyed this module. I like how we were given a topic to discuss that was very relevant to what is happening in my life right now, and then taught strategies on how to conquer it. I found these strategies very helpful and insightful and also prefer you to visit https://www.assignmenthelper.com.au/coursework-help/ for best academic help at affordable cost. I like that they can be used for everything you are trying to accomplish, not just time management. This week has helped me realize that I need to take my life more seriously and begin planning things out in order to accomplish my goals.
I doubled the pumpkin pie spice, but otherwise – YUM!!
