Ingredients:

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • Heaping ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1¼ cups unsweetened almond milk, at room temperature
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter, plus more for brushing
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Chopped toasted pecans, optional, for serving

Instructions:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, pumpkin, brown sugar, egg, coconut oil, and vanilla.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—a few lumps are ok.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Brush the skillet with oil and use a ⅓-cup measuring cup to pour the batter into the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles form and the pancakes are golden brown underneath. Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Turn the heat to low as needed so that the middles cook through without burning the outsides.
  • Serve with maple syrup and pecans, if desired.
