Easy Vegan Pumpkin Pancakes

These easy, vegan, pumpkin pancakes might literally change your life. They are so easy to make, they are refined sugar free, and there's a gluten-free option. I really don't think this recipe even needs an intro so I'll keep it simple... I just want to let you know that it's worth the hype. I created this recipe for my 'Recipe of the Week' subscribers. I send out a new recipes straight to your inbox every Sunday morning at 9am PST. Interested in checking it out? Click here.

Makes 12 squares (one full sheet). Ingredients:

3 cups plant milk (I used oat milk)
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3 cups all-purpose flour (or sub-gluten-free flour, I like this one)
3 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
¼-1/3 cup maple syrup, or 1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted coconut oil
¾ cups pumpkin puree
3 tsp ground cinnamon (or more to taste)
3 tsp pumpkin spice (you can easily make your own or just omit altogether)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425F.
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl combine apple cider vinegar with plant milk and let stand for 5-10 minutes.
In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt.
Add vanilla, maple syrup (or sugar), pumpkin purée and the melted coconut milk to the almond milk mixture and whisk until smooth.
Pour into the baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown on top.

LEVEL-UP:

Every week I am going to try and give you some extra tips that can take the recipe to the next level. I want to keep the original recipes simple so that more people have the skill-set to recreate them with success but I know lots of you are probably ready for something slightly more advanced. Let's go.

Bulk it up: Top with coconut whip cream. Is this a level up or is this a necessity? I know the answer but let’s see what you think.
Up your garnish game: Add crushed walnuts, raisins or pecans to the batter and save some to add on top.
Vegan Cream Cheese Icing: 1 tbsp plant milk, ¾ cup icing sugar, 2 tbsp vegan cream cheese? Add more or less liquid to get the consistency you want. Also, don't forget that maple syrup.
