Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 and 1/4 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for cooking
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour or scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when you see bubbles forming on the surface.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra cinnamon.
Notes
- Ensure your gluten-free flour blend contains xanthan gum. If it does not, add 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the dry ingredients.
- For thicker pancakes, use slightly less milk. For thinner pancakes, add a tablespoon or two more milk.
- You can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. You may need to add a splash more milk when ready to cook.
