Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¼ cup Pumpkin Puree (homemade or pure puree from baby food pouches/cans)
- ½ cup Plant-Based Milk (breastmilk, almond milk, or coconut milk for dairy-free)
- 2 teaspoons Melted Coconut Oil (or canola oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (optional, for fluffier pancakes)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, your choice of plant-based milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour and baking powder (if using), mixing gently until just combined. This helps keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
- Heat the griddle: Slightly grease a pancake griddle or non-stick skillet with melted coconut oil and warm it over medium heat.
- Cook the pancakes: Spoon one or two tablespoons of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on one side until the edges look dry, then carefully flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve or store: Serve the pancakes warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them and thaw in the fridge the day before serving.
Notes
- Use baking powder to make fluffier pancakes, but it’s optional if you prefer denser pancakes.
- Choose plant-based milk according to your preference or dietary needs; breastmilk is suitable for babies.
- Ensure the griddle is not too hot to prevent burning the pancakes before they cook through.
- These pancakes are perfect for babies transitioning to solids and are free from eggs and dairy.
- They can be served plain or with a small amount of natural sweetener or fruit puree as desired.
