Instructions:
Blend the batter: In a blender, combine the oat flakes, milk, egg, pumpkin puree, and salt. Blend until smooth. This will take about 30 seconds to a minute, depending on your blender’s power.
Tip: If your blender struggles with the oats, you have a couple of options:
Pulse the oats a few times before adding the other ingredients.
Grind the oats into a flour-like consistency in a food processor before adding them to the blender.
Heat the pan: While the batter blends, heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat. A non-stick pan is ideal for easy flipping.
Cook the pancakes: Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. You can use a measuring cup or a ladle for even portions.
Optional add-ins: If using, sprinkle your desired amount of chopped nuts or a pinch of cinnamon/pumpkin pie spice on top of the batter before it cooks through.
Cook until golden brown: Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You’ll know they’re ready to flip when bubbles start to form on the surface of the batter and the edges begin to set.
Serve and enjoy! Plate your delicious pumpkin oatmeal pancakes and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy them warm for a delightful and satisfying breakfast.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve these pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup, honey, or a dollop of plain yogurt for a classic breakfast treat.
Add a touch of elegance with fresh berries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Get creative with toppings! Chopped nuts, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a drizzle of chocolate sauce can elevate these pancakes to a new level.
Additional Tips:
For thicker pancakes, use slightly less milk in the batter. Conversely, add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water (let it sit for a few minutes to thicken) for a thicker and more cake-like texture.
Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the pancakes. This will ensure even cooking and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Leftover cooked pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a toaster oven or microwave for a quick and delicious breakfast on the go.
