Vegan Pumpkin Spice Pancakes with Pumpkin Maple Syrup | Dairy, egg, and refined sugar free. Gluten free alternative included. It’s the first day of fall! I honestly was hoping to walk outside and feel a difference. Maybe some beautiful fallen leaves waiting for me on the porch or a gentle nip in the air. But, being in the south, fall seems to take its sweet time getting here. Like that one friend who’s perpetually late to everything, it seems like fall has done it again this year. It’s a humid 81 degrees and sunny with a zero percent chance of fall weather today. The slight reddish-yellow tinge on the tree’s leaves is the only sign that a change is coming.

But, that doesn’t deter me from celebrating the change of seasons! I look forward to each season like a kid anticipates Christmas. Each season brings something new; a holiday, a loved one’s birthday, a change in weather, etc. It’s a change in scenery for a girl who gets bored easily. By the end of summer I’m pretty much ready for the cooler weather. Does anyone else look forward to wearing sweaters and boots for a change?!

I’d like to mark the beginning of autumn by making something with my favorite fall flavor—PUMPKIN! Here’s a delicious recipe for Vegan Pumpkin Spice Pancakes! They’re gluten, dairy, egg, and refined sugar free, but yet so fluffy and delicious! You definitely can’t tell these are made with healthier ingredients.

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Pancakes with Pumpkin Maple Syrup | Dairy, egg, and refined sugar free. Gluten free alternative included. I pour the batter by the 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot, greased pan. The batter is pretty thick so just be sure to cook them at a lower temperature so they cook well on the inside. Flip them when bubbles begin to appear around the edges.

I’ve been cooking pancakes in my new cast-iron skillet, which I think cooks them perfectly. How I’ve managed to live this long without one, I have no clue! The next piece I’m eying is the cast iron grill/griddle combo for the stovetop.

Description

Fluffy pumpkin spice pancakes with a yummy pumpkin maple syrup, perfect for any fall morning. Gluten, dairy, egg, and refined sugar free!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free cup for cup all-purpose blend or regular all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp ginger, & 1/4 tsp cloves)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil/ butter or other oil of choice, plus more for pan
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup, sugar, or other sweetener of choice
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2–2 cups almond milk (or other milk of choice), just until batter is thick yet pourable

Pumpkin Maple Syrup

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (can be dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 – 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Add the oil, sweetener, pumpkin puree, and milk and mix until combined. Start with less milk and add more only if needed.
  2. Lightly grease a pan or griddle with coconut oil or dairy-free butter. Pour batter by the 1/4 cupfuls onto a pan over medium-low heat. Flip when bubbles begin to appear around the edges. Because the batter is thick, the pancakes can easily look done on the outside without thoroughly cooking on the inside. I like to cover the pan with a lid to help the middle cook thoroughly. If the pancakes begin to get too brown, lower the temperature.
  3. Pumpkin Maple Syrup—Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in pumpkin puree and cook slightly until mixture is smooth and bubbly.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup maple syrup, pumpkin spice, and vanilla extract. Cook until mixture is smooth and thoroughly heated. Add additional 1/4 cup of maple syrup if you want it thinner. Serve warm. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for 4-5 days.

    No, my family is not vegan but these were delicious. We had it with bacon and scrambled eggs and had it for dinner…yum! I reheated a couple extras the next day for lunch and it was just as tasty as the night before 🙂

    Have never used tapioca flour before! The fluffiness of those pancakes have convinced me I need to try. Also, that pour shot of that maple syrup has me feeling all warm and cozy inside. Thanks for sharing!

      Haha, thanks Minna! I like tapioca flour. It has that chewy texture similar to rice flour. I’ve also read that tapioca flour and starch are the same thing, if that helps you in buying it 🙂

      Thank you so much, my friend! I think I could get over not having fall weather if I got to live in sunny California! I LOVE the pumpkin and cream cheese combination! I’ll bet chocolate is really delicious with that as well:) Have you ever made a pumpkin jam/butter before Amisha?

        No! never tried pumpkin jam before ! I tried persimmon last year, and failed miserably! lol I had to throw it all away. I love persimmons. I think pumpkin butter will taste really good! with some good raisin bread! yummm.

        I am going to try your Chia pudding tonight. I have almond milk, don’t have chocolate. I think I will add raw cacao to it and try it. Do your kids like it?

          Oh no! That’s too bad that your persimmon jam didn’t turn out:( That sounds like it would have been so yummy too..
          My kids do like chia pudding! They like to eat it with fruit, like a parfait. Let me know how yours turns out with the cacao.. I haven’t tried it that way before!
