Plant-Based Pumpkin Pancakes
Ingredients
- 4 flax eggs (or ⅔ cup Drink Simple Original Maple Water + 4 tbsp. flax meal)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1tbsp. cashew butter, or nut butter of choice
- 1¼ cup almond flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup Drink Simple Original Maple Water
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. nutmeg
- ¼ tsp. ginger
- ½ tsp. allspice
- ¼ tsp. salt
Directions
- In a small bowl, stir the flax eggs together. If you’re creating your own, mix ⅔ cup of maple water with 4 Tbsp. flax meal and allow it to sit for five minutes, or until thickened.
- In a large bowl, combine all other ingredients and whisk until fully combined.
- Add the flax eggs and mix until combined.
- Pour batter onto prepared griddle and spread into a 3-4” circle. When pancakes begin to bubble, carefully flip over and cook until pancake is ready! The larger the pancake, the longer it will need to cook.
- Remove and top with your favorite ingredients (we suggest pecans and a healthy dosage of pure maple syrup!). Stack, slice, and enjoy!
