  • 1 piece egg
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree Can be substituted with mashed bananas or sweet potatoes.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp organic brown sugar Or another granulated sweetener.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil.
  • Pour scoops of the mixture onto the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd.
  • Cook for a couple of minutes until the edges firm up and rise.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side until golden brown.
  • If needed, add a splash of water, cover, and let them steam for a few minutes to ensure the insides are cooked through.
  • Plate your pancakes, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

For serving, drizzle with maple syrup, fresh berries, or powdered sugar. Ensure the skillet is well-heated for the best results. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days or frozen with parchment paper in between each pancake.
