    These shareworthy Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes Use only 8 ingredients and one bowl! While it may seem unconventional to bake them in the oven, it frees up your hands for frying up bacon or preparing other parts of the meal. I especially love this recipe for busy weekends and holiday mornings when you want to save all your cooking energy for later in the day!

    These super fluffy almond butter pancakes use pumpkin puree, a touch of honey, and tapioca flour for that super fluffy texture! There are no traditional flours making them grain-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free. You'll love the healthier ingredients, and you won't feel heavy or sluggish after devouring a big stack!

    I make these most often in the cooler months and especially around the holidays. They are a favorite Thanksgiving breakfast or main event at brunch parties in the Fall.

    My non-gluten-free friends love this recipe too, especially when paired with this amazing Pumpkin Spice Coconut Whipped Cream!

    If pumpkin spice pancakes with more pumpkin spice whipped cream sounds like too much pumpkin spice, I assure you that they meld together perfectly and I will never eat them separately again!

    But don't take my word for it -- in just 25 minutes, you can make these delicious healthy pumpkin pancakes for yourself!

    • almond butter
    • pumpkin puree
    • tapioca flour
    • eggs
    • baking soda
    • vanilla extract
    • honey
    • pumpkin pie spice

    Instructions

    Preheat and Mix: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.

    Pour the batter: Pour pancake batter in 5 inch (12 centimeter) rounds onto the lined baking sheet, leaving a little room between the pancakes for spreading. I find a ⅓ cup measure is the right size to scoop and pour the batter.

    Bake: Bake the pancakes for 12-15 minutes or until the edges appear slightly brown and the top looks cooked through (not wet).

    Cool: Allow the pancakes to cool on the parchment paper for 5 minutes before gently removing with a spatula. Serve warm with Pumpkin Spice Coconut Whipped Cream and maple syrup!

    This recipe makes 12 -15 pancakes.

    Equipment

    • large mixing bowl
    • wooden spoon
    • 1-2 large baking sheets
    • parchment paper
    • spatula

    Storage

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    With only two people in my house, they never last longer than 24 hours!

    Tips before you start

    You have to try baking pancakes at least once!

    I was skeptical at first, but these are *awesome*. The baking time allows me to make coffee, whipped cream, bacon, or simply enjoy my coffee quietly by myself before starting the day.

    They're pretty foolproof.

    I've used a fresh jar of almond butter (it's always more oily at the top) and the drier bits towards the bottom, and they always turn out great!

    The ingredients are really easy to mix together and this recipe is stellar!

    Give the Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream a try.

    They are 10/10 without whipped cream. And with Pumpkin Spice Coconut Whipped Cream, they are 20/10!!

      So yummy! I never made pancakes in the oven but why not? The pumpkin spice coconut whipped cream is wonderful! I used this as well as maple syrup to satisfy my super sweet tooth!

      This is as fabulous as the photo portrays! Well done! Thank you. I know how hard it is to make the correct mixture that produces the correct chemical reaction to produce something that resembles the gluten we all love. Well done. Now on to your baguette!!

      Love the fluffiness of these pancakes and also the “hands-free” time due to baking in the oven. Thank for another great recipe, Jamie!
