Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond butter (235 ml)
  • 1 ½ cups canned pumpkin (350 ml)
  • ½ cup tapioca flour (60 grams)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 teaspoons honey
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice or see notes for recipe

Instructions

  • Preheat and Mix: Preheat the 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 the 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 tops look cooked through (not wet). There is no need to flip these pancakes.
  • Cool: Allow the pancakes to cool on the parchment paper for 5 minutes before gently removing them with a spatula. Serve warm with whipped cream and maple syrup!

Notes

Because pumpkin puree has a varying consistency, watch baking times carefully. The thicker the puree, the shorter the baking time.
Recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice:
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
Storage: Store any leftover Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
