Instructions
Preparation method
- Peel the pumpkin, cut it into small pieces (3-4 cm), and place it in a food processor. Blend the pumpkin until it reaches a fine consistency or becomes almost a puree.
- In a skillet, add the finely chopped pumpkin and 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil or butter. Sauté the pumpkin over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens and becomes fragrant.
- In a large bowl, add the sautéed pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, eggs, and milk. Mix using a hand mixer or whisk until well combined.
- Gradually incorporate the flour and baking powder into the liquid mixture. Mix at low speed with the mixer or use a spatula until you get a smooth, slightly thick batter (similar to the consistency of American pancake batter).
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. If needed, lightly grease the pan with a bit of coconut oil, using a paper towel to remove any excess.
- Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan, forming small or medium-sized pancakes. Cook the pancakes over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and fluffy. Ensure the batter is thick for soft and easy-to-handle pancakes.
- Remove the cooked pancakes onto a plate and repeat with the remaining batter until all the pancakes are made.
- Serve the pancakes warm, plain or with baby-friendly toppings like yogurt, fruit puree, cream cheese, or finely chopped nuts.
