How to make these pumpkin oatmeal pancakes

• First, make the pancake batter: Add the first 7 ingredients to a blender or food processor and pulse until fine. Add in the remaining ingredients and process for a few seconds, then stop and scrape the inside of the blender. Blend again until well combined.
• Next, cook the pancakes: Heat a pancake pan over medium-low heat. Spray with cooking oil, then drop about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter. Make about 3-4 pancakes per batch or as much as your pan cat fit without overcrowding them. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the batter, starts to bubble, then gently flip and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Set aside on a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, you should have about 10 pancakes.
• Finally, serve the pancakes: Serve pancakes warm with yogurt and dark chocolate shavings. Drizzle with extra maple syrup if desired.

Tips and substitutes

• Makes 10 medium-sized pancakes. The serving size is 2 pancakes. If the batter makes 12 pancakes then the serving size will be 3 pancakes.
• Serve with maple syrup or any other sugar-free syrup.
• We used rolled oats, but you may use quick oats. The key is to blend in a food processor.
• If you don’t have a food processor, 1 cup of rolled oats blended will yield just about 1 cup of oat flour or any other flour. If using flour start with 1 and 1/4th cup of four and if needed add another 1/4 cup.
• To make this vegan-friendly, use any non-dairy milk, and egg substitutes. For every whole egg, you will need 1/4 cup of egg substitute. Also, top with a non-dairy yogurt.
• To substitute for one egg with flaxseed: for every one egg, you can mix one tablespoon of groun flax meal or flax seed with 3 tablespoons of luke warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
• Don’t have any of the spices mentioned? you can sub with 2 tsp of pumpkin spice.
• Wrap and save the remaining pancakes in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• For a gluten-free option, use appropriate gluten-free flour and oats options.
