What’s in these healthy pumpkin pancakes?

Here are all the ingredients you need to make these pancakes. You likely have most of them in your pantry already!

• Canned pumpkin: Make sure you get 100% pumpkin in a can, and not pumpkin pie filling. They’re not the same thing!
• Oats: Since the batter is made in a blender, you can use either old fashioned rolled oats or quick oats in this recipe.
• McIntosh apples: McIntosh apples are such a classic apple variety! Macintosh apples are the perfect balance of sweet and tart for this recipe. They are also quite fragrant, so your house will smell amazing as they cook. Yes! Apples produces delicious McIntosh apples from New York, and they are in season right now! They also have over 15 other varieties to try. Click here to find Yes! Apples in a store near you.
• Milk of choice: Choose any type of milk you like. I’ve used both unsweetened soy milk and oat milk successfully in this recipe.
• Maple syrup: This adds just a touch of sweetness to the pancakes. You’ll also want extra for drizzling when you eat them.
• Vanilla extract
• Cinnamon
• Pumpkin pie spice
• Baking powder
• Salt

How to make healthy pumpkin pancakes

• Add all the ingredients to a high powered blender. To make blending easier, put the wet ingredients in the blender first, like the milk, eggs, and pumpkin. Then add the dry ingredients on top, like the oats and spices.
• Blend until completely smooth. The batter will be relatively thick.
• Cook the pancakes in a nonstick pan. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to spoon the batter into the pan for same sized pancakes.
• Chop up apples and saute them on the stovetop. Add a bit of coconut oil to the pan before the apples, and sprinkle generously with cinnamon.
• Serve pancakes with the warm cinnamon apples, maple syrup, and butter if desired.
