Fall is my absolute favorite season in terms of both weather and food, but it always seems to fly right by! To make the most of it, I have been trying to cook as much as I possibly can with pumpkin and squash. Not only do they taste amazing, they also contain an abundance of nutrients such as vitamin A, fiber, and the antioxidant beta-carotene.
Due to their versatility, I have been adding these hearty veggies them to everything from smoothies to pasta sauces! However, I must say that my two favorite dishes are those that have been the simplest- a creamy vegan squash-based macaroni and cheese and these pancakes! 
This simple recipe is perfect to throw together for anything from a weekend brunch to a late night snack! Adapted from my pumpkin pancakes for one recipe, this version is perfect for two (at least it is for Spencer and I), but it can also be duplicated to serve more! I encourage you to try them out, and hope that they become a staple in your fall meal rotation as well!
Autumn Pancakes for Two
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (may be gluten-free)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree or cooked and mashed sweet potato flesh
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup, plus more for serving
- Coconut oil or vegan butter, for cooking
- Pumpkin seeds, for topping
Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients together in a small bowl. Whisk together the pumpkin, milk, and maple syrup in a separate bowl. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until everything is evenly combined. Allow the batter to sit for a few minutes to thicken.
- Heat a small amount of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour the batter onto the skillet using 1/4 cup measuring cup (you should have about 8 pancakes total). Allow to cook for a few minutes, until bubbles form around the edges, then flip and cook for another minute or two until golden.
- Serve with pure maple syrup, vegan butter, and any other toppings you love. Enjoy!
Your photos of these pancakes are making me hungry! These would be my ideal fall morning breakfast. 🙂
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy them 🙂
