Filled with a powerhouse of healthy nutrients, it's the spices that will have the kids asking for these beauties days in a row! Topped with heart-healthy walnuts and nutrient rich pure maple syrup, you've got the power to face your day.
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup organic spelt flour (we like One Degree Brand)
2 Tbs flax meal
1 Tbs chia seed
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
scant 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp powdered ginger
1 cup non-dairy milk (we use Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond)
1 cup water
1/2 cup canned or fresh pureed pumpkin*
1 egg
In a small bowl, combine the milk, water, pumpkin and egg, whisking well until combined. Add these wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined.
Heat a non-stick griddle to medium/medium-high, and scoop batter in desired proportions onto the hot pan. When bubbles begin to break the surface of the pancake, flip, and cook another few minutes. Remove to a plate and continue until all batter is used.
Top with walnuts and serve with maple syrup. Chopped banana also makes a nice addition.
*Liv Life Note: Note that the consistency of your pumpkin will alter the thickness (or thinness!) of your batter... some pumpkins are very watery, while others may be very thick. You may need to adjust the amount of water added based on the pumpkin. If your batter is too thin, add a little bit of additional flour to thicken. Conversely, add additional milk or water if batter is too thick.
