Expert tips

Size – Pancakes made with almond flour tend to break when flipping due to absence of gluten. So, do not use more 1/4 cup batter to make them.

Batter consistency – Batter should be slightly thick, yet spreadable consistency. Adjust water accordingly.

Heat – Almond flour pancakes have a tendency to darken much sooner than regular pancakes. And, these have some brown sugar, pumpkin and spices which makes a bit more darker. So, we highly recommend adjusting heat between low and medium to cook.

Almond flour – It is ground blanched almonds and is widely available in all major US grocery stores and Amazon. I buy mine from Costco and store in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.

Use almond flour NOT almond meal – Almond meal is much more coarser and also more hearty since they are ground with skin. This might not make a light and fluffy pancake that we are going for.

Pumpkin puree – Use plain pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.

How to make pancakes for one? Simply halve the recipe.

Can I use maple syrup instead of brown sugar?

Absolutely. Mix maple syrup along with wet ingredients and reduce the amount of water to get the right consistency.

Can I use any other flour instead?

Unfortunately no. This recipe is created only to work with almond flour (which makes then flourless) and not any other flour. So, we would not recommend using regular flour.

Can I make without eggs?

As mentioned earlier, eggs is the main binding agent for the gluten free pumpkin pancakes. So, it will simply fall apart if made without eggs.

How to keep them warm?

Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet (in a single layer) and keep them a 200 degree pre heated oven until serving time.

How to store leftover pancakes?

Store leftover pancakes in a sealed zip lock bag (with small parchment squares between them or partially freeze them in a baking tray and then transfer to the bag – this helps pancakes not stick to each other) and freeze for up to 2 months.

To Reheat –

1. Toaster – my favorite —> Pop them in your bread toaster for just 1 to 2 minutes (toasting them longer might make them darker in color) Toasting gives makes them slightly crisp with crunchy edges (toast at a light setting).
2. Microwave – Place one or two pancakes on a microwave safe plate and cook for 20 seconds.
3. Air Fryer – Place 1 or 2 pancakes in a preheated 330 degrees air fryer and cook for few minutes, until warm.
4. Oven – This works for large batch, reheat them in a pre heated 350 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes.

Serving suggestions:

Pancakes are best enjoyed warm, with a dab of salted room temperature butter (omit if you want it strictly dairy free) and drenched in maple syrup.

Additional topping might include sliced bananas, honeyed butter, whipped cream, berries, sweetened greek yogurt.
