Preparation method
- Blend the pumpkin pieces in a blender until smooth, ensuring there are no large chunks remaining.
- In a saucepan, combine the pumpkin and sugar, then cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin softens and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pumpkin mixture cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk the cinnamon, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, eggs, and milk together until well combined.
- Gradually add the cooled pumpkin mixture to the bowl and mix until incorporated.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into the bowl, then gently fold them into the wet mixture using a spatula or whisk until a smooth batter forms.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil.
- Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan and spread it gently to form a pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form and the edges turn golden brown.
- Flip the pancake and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Transfer the pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with honey, nuts, or cream cheese.
