Pumpkin Pancakes

Gluten-free, vegan, banana-free pumpkin pancakes made entirely in the blender. Rolled oats do the work of flour, aquafaba stands in for eggs, and dates handle the sweetness. Cozy fall flavor, minimal cleanup.

Method

Add all ingredients to your Vitamix in the order listed (liquids first). Blend on high for 20 seconds until smooth.
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake. If using walnuts or chocolate chips, sprinkle on top while cooking. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, flip, and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden.
Serve warm with your toppings of choice. Oven method: bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes if you’re making a big batch.

Notes
Naturally gluten-free and vegan. Aquafaba is what gives these a fluffy texture without eggs — don’t skip it. Leftover pancakes keep in the fridge for 3 days or freeze well for longer.

What if you don’t have aquafaba, can you use eggs instead? If so, how many?

  Yes! About one egg is the same as 1/4 cup aquafaba. Let us know how it goes!

As a mama to two young kiddos I’m very anxious to try these for one, as a healthier alternative to pancakes and two, your note about making them in the oven. That sounds amazing! Any guidelines as to what temp and how long? I assume this would work with the original oatmeal pancake recipe as well? TIA!

  Hi Sarah, yeah, 350 for 10-15 minutes should be good. We actually haven’t tried this method — have only heard from my sister who does it like this and swears by it. And yes, same with the original oatmeal pancakes recipe. Let us know how it goes for you and what you find? TIA!
