Grain Free Silver Dollar Pumpkin Pancakes - Passionate For Truth

Grain Free Silver Dollar Pumpkin Pancakes

Finding quick breakfast ideas with few ingredients is a challenge.  I am always trying new recipes to keep the novelty alive in the morning, because for me, breakfast can sometimes be the biggest challenge as far as variety goes in the grain free lifestyle.  When I came across the recipe mentioned above, I knew that I had to give it a try.  She is so great at putting together easy recipes that the whole family will love that I keep her as one of my favorites to try.
I in no way want to take credit for the base recipe that I didn’t create, but I am happy to share what I have found that works for my family; especially if we made changes to it that you may want to try as well!  It tastes like a cross between a pumpkin scone and french toast …. my husband, the original pancake connoisseuer, said … and I quote … “mmmm” (he’s a man of few words, but when he speaks, you listen!)

Grain Free Silver Dollar Pumpkin Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup chilled pumpkin puree (better yet, fresh local pumpkin, or other local squash/ayote available)
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp. clove
  • Coconut oil for the pan
  • Pure maple syrup, or other toppings for serving

 

Instructions

  1. Warm a cast iron pan over medium high heat.
  2. Whisk together the eggs, pumpkin/squash puree, nutmeg, clove and cinnamon.
  3. Add about a tablespoon of coconut oil to the hot pan.  Be sure to cover the bottom of the entire pan.
  4. Use one small ladle full of batter for each pancake, ‘silver dollar pancake’ size.  They definitely flip much easier if they are that small.
  5. Cook until golden on the bottom and slightly opaque in the center and around the edges (for less ‘egg’ consistency, you can cook a little longer).
  6. Flip, brown the other side, and serve hot.
  7. Makes about 8 small pancakes.

 

I found that if you cook these a little bit longer, you will get a bit of a ‘crunch’ that really adds to the flavor and keeps it from seeming too ‘eggy’ in it’s finished texture.  You can also play with the spices a bit to your satisfaction, but we loved it just like this with a light drizzle of pure maple syrup on top, or just an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if you are avoiding all ‘sugars’.

They are great re-heated in a toaster oven for a quick on the go snack as well!

NOTES:

  • (1) 14 oz can of pumpkin yielded 6 servings (basically, enough for 6 people) using the recipe above.
  • Chilling the pumpkin before adding it creates a thicker, fluffier pancake.
