Rich and creamy these vegan pancakes are the perfect Autumn Breakfast treat. I like to add a little vanilla or chocolate protein powder to the batter to increase the protein content. Serve these with a spoonful of coconut yogurt and top with berries or toasted nuts.

Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes

Overview

Difficulty – Easy

Time – 10 minutes preparation and 10 minutes cooking

What’s good about it?

Pumpkin is high in vitamins and minerals and antioxidants. It’s also a great source of beta-carotene, a carotenoid that your body converts into vitamin A.

  1. Simply place all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth – you should have a thick batter.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Place spoonfuls of the batter in the pan to make little blinis. Cook on each side for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  3. Serve with a little maple syrup, sweet freedom, toasted nuts, coconut yogurt.
