Ingredients
Units
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (rolled oats, not quick oats)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk of choice (plus more if necessary to thin the batter)
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
- Oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, milk, pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend everything together until the batter is smooth, ensuring even mixing and a creamy texture.
- Heat Cooking Surface: Place a pan or skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking and aid browning.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the heated pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface, roughly 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat: Continue the process until all the batter is used and pancakes are ready.
- Serve: Serve pancakes immediately topped with butter, maple syrup, nuts, or your preferred toppings. Optionally sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips on top for added sweetness.
Notes
- Use rolled oats, not quick oats, to ensure the batter blends to the right texture and the pancakes hold together well.
- Add more milk if the batter is too thick to pour comfortably.
- Pumpkin pie spice can be substituted with a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger if unavailable.
- These pancakes freeze well – cool completely before freezing and reheat with a toaster or microwave.
- Check doneness by ensuring both sides are golden brown and the center is cooked through.
