Ingredients

2 ¼ cups oats gluten free oats if desired
1 1/4 cups unsweetened vanilla almond cashew, coconut or oat milk
1 large ripe banana
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 large egg
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

Place the oats in a high-speed blender or food processor and blend on high to create an oat flour.
Add the rest of the ingredients in the blender and blend on high until completely mixed together and oats have broken down, about 1-2 minutes.
Heat a griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat and melt a teaspoon or two of coconut oil or grass-fed butter in the pan. Once the pan or griddle is hot, pour or scoop 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan.
Cook 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the edges are set and the batter starts to bubble around the edges. Carefully flip the pancakes over using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until the pancakes are cooked all the way through. Serve warm with extra bananas, butter, extra fruit, nuts, nut butter or maple syrup.
