We’ve been making these healthy pumpkin pancakes for years now and they are one of our favorite fall breakfasts! I love that they are gluten-free, dairy-free and made with whole-food ingredients like ground up oats instead of flour.

They’re perfect for feeding the kids before school or even for a special holiday breakfast that will leave you feeling full and satisfied.

Ingredients You’ll Need

These pancakes are really easy to make. They are also made with healthier ingredients than traditional pumpkin pancakes.

  • Oats: Ground up instead of regular flour
  • Ground Flaxseed: Acts as a binder and adds a good dose of fiber/antioxidants
  • Pumpkin: Nutrient-rich and yummy
  • Maple Syrup: Instead of refined-sugar
  • Coconut Oil: A healthy oil choice!

Gluten-Free? Use certified gluten-free oats to make these pancakes gluten-free. Oats are naturally gluten-free but often grown alongside gluten-containing grains. So you need to buy a bag of oats that specifically says “gluten-free” for these pancakes to be safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

This recipe makes enough to serve about 3 people so double it as needed. I like to cook up these pancakes in my very favorite nonstick pan. (I use this pan everyday!)

Easy pumpkin pancakes made healthy with ground up oats instead of flour! You can easily use gluten-free oats if needed. These pancakes are spiced, wholesome and perfect for cool fall mornings! 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup almond milk room temperature or warm
  • 6 tablespoons pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted

Instructions 

  • Place the oats in a blender or food processor. Blend until finely ground, about 60 seconds.
  • Add the oats to a bowl along with the ground flaxseed, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
  • In a measuring cup or bowl, mix together the almond milk, pumpkin, maple syrup, egg and coconut oil. Mix to combine.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until evenly combined.
  • Cook in a nonstick skillet in a little butter over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, until set. You’ll want to make sure the heat isn’t too high so they don’t burn. (Add a few chocolate chips if you like!) Flip and cook for another minute on the second side.
  • Serve warm with maple syrup! Enjoy!

Notes

  • MAKE IT GLUTEN-FREE: Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats. 
  • If you don't have pumpkin pie spice you can use 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon instead 
  • Be sure your almond milk and the other wet ingredients aren't too cold so the coconut oil doesn't solidify.
