Ingredients
Pumpkin Pancakes:
- butter for frying pan coconut oil for dairy-free option
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- dash allspice
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- extra maple syrup or yogurt to serve
Carmelized Pears:
- 1/2 medium pear cored and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon raw coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- sprinkle sea salt
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk coconut flour, baking soda, sea salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice until fully blended.
-
In a separate large bowl, whisk eggs, pumpkin puree, almond milk, and maple syrup until completely incorporated.
-
Whisk dry ingredients into wet, mixing just until fully blended.
-
Heat a non-stick or cast-iron frying pan over medium flame, adding butter to coat the pan. When butter sizzles to a flick of water, add batter in 1/4 cup scoops, spreading into circles. Let cook 2-3 minutes.
-
When bubbles appear, flip and cook a minute or two on the other side. Remove once appropriately browned. Remove from pan and keep warm in heated oven while you cook the rest.
-
Once all pancakes are done, wipe any crumbs from the pan, and add a teaspoon of coconut oil and a teaspoon of maple syrup to the pan. Swirl to mix and coat the pan.
-
Place pear slices in a single layer in the pan, and let them sear and caramelize, about 5 minutes, or until caramelized and browned to your liking. Remove from heat.
-
Serve pancakes with caramelized pears, yogurt, and maple syrup, or as you like!
