Why Organic
Why use organic ingredients in this recipe? You all know I’m a huge organic advocate, and I bet you may be thinking sometimes, Why would I even bother to use organic ingredients in something that is so sweet and indulgent? But, that is the exact reason why you should use organic ingredients! Sweet things need to have flavor in order to be good, otherwise they are just sweet and they don’t taste like much else. Organic ingredients are more pure than conventional ones, therefore they actually have more flavor than the non organic options. Say it with me, organic means more flavor! And not just more flavor but a more true and pure flavor. And organic ingredients are much healthier for you to eat in general as they do not contain GMOs or anything artificial. Plus, you are being environmentally friendly when you choose organic ingredients!
So, I highly recommend that you buy the best organic ingredients for this recipe! You can also shop my Amazon Storefront for all my favorite organic ingredients here. Tip – hover over each ingredient to see the name. And if you want to learn more about organic foods and the difference, read my post here on Food Labels and What They Mean.
Making pumpkin spice pancakes is the best way to spend a fall weekend morning. Serve these with butter, maple syrup, or apples.
Ingredients
1/2 cup (113 grams) organic salted butter
1 1/4 cups (177 grams) organic whole flour
1/4 cup (57 grams) organic cane sugar
1 teaspoon organic cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon organic cloves
1/2 teaspoon organic ginger
Pinch of organic nutmeg
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 organic large egg
1 cup organic milk
1/2 cup (123 grams) organic pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
organic canola oil cooking spray for greasing the pan
organic maple syrup, for serving
organic salted butter, for serving
organic sliced apples, for serving
Directions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Let cool to room temperature before the next step.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the pastry flour, cane sugar, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, and sea salt and whisk together.
- In the saucepan with the butter, add the egg, milk, pumpkin, and vanilla extract and whisk together. Then slowly add into the dry ingredients while whisking until you have a smooth batter.
- In a medium frying pan over medium heat, grease the pan well with the cooking spray. Pour the pancake batter into the frying pan, about a scant 1⁄4 cup for each pancake. Wait for the top of the pancake to start bubbling, for 1 1⁄2 to 2 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook until done, for 1 1⁄2 to 2 minutes on the second side as well. Repeat until the batter is gone.
- Serve with maple syrup, butter, and sliced apples.
Notes
- Gluten Free – Replace the pastry flour with 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (177 g) organic gluten-free flour blend.
- High Altitude – Follow the recipe as noted.
