Ingredients

  • 200 g flour
  • 130 g milk

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Remove the cooked pancakes onto a plate and repeat with the remaining batter until all the pancakes are made.
  8. Serve the pancakes warm, plain or with baby-friendly toppings like yogurt, fruit puree, cream cheese, or finely chopped nuts.
