Notes


The right all-purpose gluten-free multi-purpose flour will help make these pancakes the right consistency of fluffiness. I suggest Bob’s brand of gluten-free flour for all your baking.
To give these pancakes the pumpkin flavor punch that they deserve, I try to use a premium blend of pumpkin spice when I can, but of course any pumpkin pie spice will work.
The key to making these vegan pancakes fluffy is the baking powder. The creamier oat milk can also help keep them moist. Cooking them slow and low will ensure they do not burn, which is why it is important to flip them when the bubbles start to appear on the batter while cooking on the griddle. Feel free to make these pancakes as big or small as you wish, but this recipes makes pancakes about 5 inches in diameter.
Please let me know how this turns out for you and yours! If you would like to add a more tart topping to these pancakes please check out my apple cranberry sauce, to serve on the side.
