Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: blender, non-stick skillet or griddle, measuring cups and spoons, spatula, and a ladle or measuring cup for pouring batter.
- Add rolled oats to the blender and pulse briefly to create a fine flour-like consistency, about 30-45 seconds.
- Add remaining ingredients - canned pumpkin, milk, eggs, baking powder, pumpkin spice, salt, and maple syrup (if using) - into the blender with the ground oats.
- Blend all ingredients on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and completely combined, scraping down sides if necessary.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter if needed.
- Allow the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes after blending to let the oats absorb liquid and thicken slightly.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the heated surface, leaving space between pancakes.
- Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface and edges look dry, then carefully flip.
- Cook the second side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and continue cooking remaining batter.
- Serve warm with additional maple syrup, whipped cream, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit as desired.
Tips
- Blend the Oats Well: For the best texture, make sure to blend the rolled oats until they reach a fine flour-like consistency. This will help create light and fluffy pancakes.
- Let the Batter Rest: After blending, allow the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes. This gives the oats time to absorb the liquid and thicken, resulting in better pancakes.
- Preheat Your Skillet: Ensure your non-stick skillet or griddle is preheated over medium heat before pouring the batter. A properly heated surface will help achieve that perfect golden brown color.
- Watch for Bubbles: Keep an eye on your pancakes as they cook. Flip them when small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry; this is a sign that they’re ready to be flipped!
- Customize Your Toppings: Don’t be afraid to get creative with your toppings! Serve these pancakes with maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added crunch.
