Servings: 12 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2¼ cups soy milk unsweetened
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup melted vegan butter
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1.5 tbsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt I use Morton's
- 1 tsp cinnamon or cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
Vegan Cinnamon Butter
- 1 stick softened vegan butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
Make the Cinnamon Butter
- Place softened vegan butter in a bowl and add the maple, cinnamon, and salt. Use a hand-mixer to beat for 1 minute or until the butter is light and fluffy.
- Then place the butter in a piece of parchment paper and roll into a log. Twist the ends to seal, and store in the fridge until ready to use.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
- Combine the pumpkin puree, soy milk, lemon juice, vanilla, and maple syrup and stir to combine. Set aside.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk to combine then add in the wet ingredients. Stir just until incorporated, then add in the melted butter and stir until mixed in. Be careful not to over-mix at this stage or the pancakes could get tough and rubbery. For light and fluffy pancakes, just mix until combined - some lumps are perfectly fine - and then set the bowl aside to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Cook
- Add some coconut oil or vegan butter a large frying pan and warm to medium heat (about a 5 out of 10)Add 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook for 3-4 minutes or until a lot of bubbles rise to the surface. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Tip: Lower the heat as needed while cooking and in between batches of pancakes. I gradually get down to about a 4 out of 10 heat by the time all of the pancakes are cooked. Repeat with the remaining pancake batter, and then serve warm with Cinnamon Butter and maple syrup on top!Enjoy :)
