    Published: Jun 13, 2017 · by Katie

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    These are the best paleo pumpkin pancakes - light, fluffy, moist and incredibly delicious!  They're made with paleo baking flour, lightly sweetened with maple syrup and have a rich pumpkin flavor. The whole family will love them, whether they follow a paleo diet or not.

    It may not be that crazy pumpkin season (ahem fall), but I'm all for pumpkin year round.  (Anyone else?!)

    Thankfully, you can find canned pumpkin even in the hottest summer months.  So when cravings call for pumpkin pancakes, you can enjoy them any time of year.

    These paleo pumpkin pancakes are so moist and tender, with a bold pumpkin flavor. They're not too sweet, but taste delicious. 

    Why You'll Love these Pumpkin Pancakes

    • paleo friendly - made with healthy, wholesome ingredients
    • gluten free and grain free - no flour
    • dairy free - made without milk or butter
    • healthy - lightly sweetened with maple syrup and made with minimally processed ingredients
    • texture perfection - these pumpkin pancakes are soft and tender, not dry

    Ingredients

    The full recipe can be found in the recipe card below, but here's a list of the ingredients you'll need:

    • eggs - to bind the ingredients.
    • pumpkin puree - because these are pumpkin pancakes! It also adds moisture, creating tender pancakes.
    • maple syrup - for sweetness.
    • avocado oil - added for texture purposes. You can swap this oil for another neutral oil.
    • paleo baking flour - I use Bob's Red Mill paleo baking flour. It's made with a combination of almond flour, arrowroot starch, organic coconut flour and tapioca flour.
    • baking powder - to get fluffy, tender pancakes
    • cinnamon - optional, but recommended for flavor purposes. You can swap this ingredient for pumpkin spice if you prefer.
    • salt - to enhance the flavors

    How to Make Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes

    This healthy paleo pumpkin pancake recipe requires only 8 ingredients.  Within minutes, you have six soft, fluffy and perfectly sweet pancakes.

    The process is simple! 

    1. First, whisk the eggs in a medium sized mixing bowl. 
    2. Next, add in the remaining wet ingredients and whisk until smooth.
    3. Add in the dry ingredients, whisk. 
    4. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken. Then, scoop about ¼ cup on an oiled, pre-heated frying pan.  Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium-low heat.  Flip the pancake when it's slightly brown on the bottom.
    5. Repeat until all of the batter has been used up.

      I didn't know Bob's Red Mill made a paleo flour! I'll have to try it out! I have a beet pancake recipe on my blog that requires no flour at all if you're interested. I'm just so sick of almond flour, so this is great to know!

        I feel like almond flour is overused - this Paleo Mix does have some almond flour in it though. Have you tried using Cassava flour? It bakes really well and is Paleo friendly 🙂 I'll have to check out your recipe!

      I have not been able to get the consistency of pancakes right, but your note on covering the skillet was key. I have actually started baking them in the oven so I can do all of them at once. They turn out great!

      Can you sub regular flour for paleo flour?

        I have not tried that substitution, but I'm guessing it will work.
