Pumpkin Oat Pancakes

pumpkin oat pancakes

The world knows it by now… I love Fall with my whole heart.  I was just telling my husband that I feel like all is right in my world when the leaves start to turn colors and the air cools down.  Every day feels like a dream come true to me in the Fall. As L.M. Montgomery says, I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

If you read my Fall Bucket List, then you already know this, but every year we have a party to celebrate Fall.  We just recently had our Happy Fall party, and good grief, I wish we could do that every single day of the entire season.  This Happy Fall party may have been my favorite so far. We played festive music, drank our own homemade pumpkin spiced coffee, and had an absolute FEAST.  Every year it’s a little bit different, but with some similarities.  This year’s feast was pumpkin oat pancakes with toasted pecans, maple syrup, and maple glazed apples. All God’s people said… AMEN.

These pumpkin oat pancakes were unlike any other oat pancakes I have ever made.  They were seriously the fluffiest and most filling pancakes we have had in quite some time.  They also held together like no other oat pancakes I have made.  If you like pancakes, but need to actually feel full, these are for you!

The best part, besides the fact that my husband absolutely loved them, is that I ate 3 of them and didn’t feel one bit guilty!  They are entirely clean and I’d confidently label them healthy!  Now, if you want to add chocolate chips to yours, that’s on you!

While these are absolutely simple to make, I do want to mention a couple of things.  First of all, the measurement for oats is after you grind them in the food processor.  The amounts are different, so just make sure you measure the amount of oat flour, not oats.  (If you buy your oat flour pre-ground, just measure straight from the bag).

Also, the batter is quite thick.  Do not think you missed something!  It is supposed to be that way! You will simply want to spread it out a little each time you drop a fourth cup of patter into the pan! Otherwise, you will end up with very tiny but very thick pancakes!

Finally, you can add pecans, chocolate chips, or even craisins to these to spice it up!

Whatever you do, do it with a smile on your face and with warmth in your heart.  Savor every aroma and embrace the moments of this beautiful season.  Oh, and enjoy every single bite of these pumpkin oat pancakes.

Pumpkin Oat Pancakes

Created by on October 2, 2017

Did you like what you saw?There's more where that came from!Your information will *never* be shared or sold to a 3rd party.

Here's what you need:

  • 2 c oat flour (if blending your own, measure AFTER grinding your oats)
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 c organic pumpkin puree
  • 1 c unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp. maple syrup

Here's what you do:

  1. In a large bowl, combine oat flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  2. Mix in all remaining ingredients. The batter will be thick- this is normal!
  3. Heat a large pan over medium heat, using your preferred non stick agent. You will want your pan to be hot, so give It at least 3-5 minutes.
  4. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop batter into the hot pan. With each 1/4c batter, you will want to spread it out a little bit with a spoon in order to prevent the pancakes from being small and thick.
  5. Cook on first side for approximately 3 minutes. You should see bubbles on the top, and the edges will start to firm. Flip and cook for 2-3 more minutes on second side.
  6. Repeat until all batter is cooked.
  7. Serve and enjoy with maple syrup, pecans, apples, or any other toppings of your choice!

  2. First of all, I love that you have a fall party every year. What a great idea! Fall is my favorite time of year, too. Also, I love how hearty these pancakes are – they really look like they will fill you up. Thank you so much for sharing!

    • they really are! I hate how sometimes pancakes just leave you feeling stuffed but not full.. if that makes any sense!

  5. Wow, I can’t believe how thick those pancakes look – I can taste the maple syrup blending perfectly with the pumpkin flavors just looking at the pictures!

  8. They look fantastic! I wonder if I could get my picky eater to eat these. . . oats would have more protein than wheat. . .

    • Try them! We made the most delicious maple glazed apples with ours and they were soooooo good!

  10. looks delicious! my kids are obsessed with pancakes these days, so I will definitely have to try out this version. Looks pretty filling too.
