Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
Follow these quick adjustments to ensure the best results every time you make your almond flour pumpkin pancakes.

- For a dairy-free version, use unsweetened almond or oat milk as the liquid base.

- Brown sugar can be substituted with coconut sugar if you prefer a lower glycemic option.

How to Make Almond Flour Pumpkin Pancakes
Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
Start by grabbing a medium bowl. Add the 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk everything thoroughly to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the almond flour.
Step 2: Finish the Batter
In a separate, larger bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, and 2 tablespoons of milk until the mixture is completely smooth and combined. Slowly fold in the dry ingredient mixture, whisking just until the batter is uniform and no dry streaks remain.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Heat your nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the surface. Gently spread it into a circle and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the top begins to set. Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Pro Tips
- Keep your pancakes to 1/4 cup of batter each; this smaller size makes flipping much easier since almond flour is more delicate than wheat flour.
- Watch your heat carefully! Because of the pumpkin and brown sugar, these will brown much faster than regular pancakes; adjust the heat between low and medium as needed.
- The batter should have a thick, spreadable consistency. If it looks too stiff, add an extra teaspoon of milk at a time.
- Always use 100 percent pumpkin puree rather than pre-spiced pie filling to avoid unwanted additives.

Serving Suggestions
Elevate your breakfast experience with these delicious topping ideas for your almond flour pumpkin pancakes.
- Drizzle with warm pure maple syrup or a dash of honey.
- Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped coconut cream for extra richness.
- Sprinkle with toasted pecans or walnuts for a satisfying crunch.
- Serve alongside fresh berries or sliced bananas.
- Pair with a warm cup of coffee or seasonal spiced chai tea.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a toaster oven or warm them in a skillet over low heat until they are warmed through, ensuring they stay soft and delicious.
FAQs
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Alternatively, cook them fully and simply reheat them when you are ready to serve.
Can I freeze this recipe?
Absolutely. Let the pancakes cool completely, place parchment paper between them, and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to one month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
What can I serve with this recipe?
These pair perfectly with fresh fruit, a side of scrambled eggs, or even a dollop of almond butter. They are versatile enough to work with any of your favorite brunch sides.
How do I keep this recipe from drying out?
The key is cooking over lower heat to ensure the inside cooks before the outside darkens too much. Additionally, be careful not to overcook them, as almond flour can dry out quickly if left on the heat too long.
