Pumpkin and Oat Pancakes
Healthy cooking tip . . .
Pancakes freeze beautifully and reheat easily in your microwave or toaster. When I was raising kids, I’d make a whole pile of pancakes on Sunday, let them cool, then freeze them between sheets of wax for a nutritious weekday breakfast.
Happy cooking!
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- ½ cup oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 large egg white
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 ½ tablespoons canola oil
- 1 cup low fat milk, or almond milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine flour, oats, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir until combined.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
- Add 1/2 cup pancake batter to the pan and gently form into a circle.
- Cook for 3 - 4 minutes until the pancake just starts to bubble, then flip and cook the other side until cooked through. Insert a toothpick in the center to see if they're done.
- Serve with syrup and butter.

Mmm, pumpkin and almond milk, in pancakes! Sign me up.
Sounds wholesome and filling and perfect for Fall.
Hi Kiri – I often use almond milk these days. We have family members who have dairy intolerances. I have to say I really like it. Enjoy your week.
These look fantastic!!

I have indeed seen pumpkins everywhere I visit a food blog except my own one
. This sounds like a great recipe and I’d love to have this for breakfast!
These pumpkin oat pancakes look wonderful! Perfect combination of ingredients that bring us back to Autumn (since we were dragged into Winter first). Thanks for sharing, looks yummy! (buzzed it) =]

Thank you!
Thanks for a tasty post.
I don’t think that you can ever have too much pumpkin! I just finished up my last can of Libby’s this week and I’m already itching to get to the grocery store to pick up more. I’m a big fan of pumpkin oatmeal, so I’m sure that I’d be a big fan of pumpkin oat pancakes!

I have two sugar pumpkins waiting for me to make my own pumpkin puree. I did this once last year in the crockpot and loved the flavor. I must admit, canned is much easier, but this is fun once a year.
Lovely color and nice one, great way of merging pumpkin and oats together.

Thank you for saying that about the pictures. My picture taking skills have needed improvement, so I’ve been making an extra effort.

I haven’t had any pumpkin at all this year so this will be a treat, Kristi. These look so light and if it’s got oats in it, it’s good for us, right?

Got to get that nutrition in where we can right? Pumpkin and oats are a great place to start. I have two sugar pumpkins on the counter waiting for me to get out the slow cooker to cook them. Someone taught me the slow cooker method last year and I love it!
I love pumpkin and oats…what a great recipe!!

Thanks Rachel, and thank you for visiting.
Is the serving size really 6-8? These look yummy!

Ha! Thanks for catching that. It should say makes 6 – 8 pancakes. I’ll fix that asap. Thanks for visiting.
I can never be on pumpkin overload! These pancakes sound awesome, and I appriciate that they have oats in them for extra goodness
!
They are a little denser than a typical pancake thanks to the oats and pumpkin, but the flavor had everyone happy and they were still light enough to qualify as a pancake.
I’m just now getting into the pumpkin thing myself. I don’t usually think of it for breakfast though…

I often make apple pancakes, so this seemed like it would work..
Delicious! I’d have to skip the cinnamon because of allergies, but I suspect the maple syrup on them would be just right…
Ann recently posted..Plum Jam
I know 100% maple syrup is expensive, especially if you’re feeding a family, but I sure like it as a treat. No sugar – just 100% syrup.
I’ve been trying to make pumpkin pancakes and haven’t done it. Before it’s too late I should cook this this weekend. Very healthy and delicious pancakes!

Hi Nami! You’ll have to let me know how they turn out for you and what improvements you make.
Wonderful recipe!

Mmmmmmm….these look fabulous!! Love the pumpkin and oat combination…sounds healthy, yet still scrumptious
Liz recently posted..Monte Cristo Bread Pudding~
I’m not the best pancake maker. I often burn them, so I stick with waffles, but I decided to give these a try. The oats and pumpkin make them a bit denser, but they are still very pancake like.
I’m definitely not on pumpkin overload … these look wonderful Kristi.
Excellent recipe! I like that you are using only egg whites, healthy and delicious looking!
Overloaded on pumpkin? Never! I hate prepping it but love eating it. I’ll have to treat my husband to some awesome pumpkin pancakes – thanks for the recipe.

Nice to shake up yummy pancakes like these with a little pumpkin sometime
Have you tried with a drizzle of peanut butter?
Sandi recently posted..Maven Monday
No I haven’t, but it sounds terrific and a great way to get some healthy fat and a little protein in too.
My family will surely be delighted with this recipe. Fortunately, we still have a huge craving for pumpkins. I love the photos and your pancakes just looks delicious. Thank you for this amazing recipe.
Thank you Laura. Fortunately we have lots of pumpkin available, but I understand there a folks who don’t. Have a good weekend!
Hey Kristi,
Lovely pancakes!! I bought two more sugar pumpkins yesterday, can’t get enough pumpkin. Tried the steaming method last month, made it really easy to prepare. Hubby and I were just talking about pancakes the other day… Would love to try these on Sunday. Do you think white wheat flour would work instead of the pastry flour?
I’m sure you could use white flour. They’d probably been even fluffier. Have a good weekend!
Funny, I like your pumpkin slogan, yes we are attacked by pumpkins…..but your pancakes looks delicious, as always:)
Thank you Irena – I’m glad you enjoyed it.
These pancakes sound like the perfect fall breakfast! And great tip with freezing them!
Peggy recently posted..Secret Recipe Club: Creamy Mac n’ Cheese
Love your recipe and plan to use boiled, mashed sweet potatoes to replace the pumpkin puree. Almond milk is a great addition too. As we are not milk drinkers in my home almond and rice milk are standard staples here. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for visiting! I’m an almond and coconut milk person myself. Love them both. Have a good day!
I’ve tried these pumpkin pancakes twice now, and they’re great!
Jess recently posted..Pumpkin Pancakes: The Picture of Health (Really!)
I’m so glad you liked them. I love your use of maple syrup in place of honey and the suggestion to use nutmeg. Wonderful!
