How To Make Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes Baby
If you’re using rolled oats, process them in a food processor until they turn into a fine flour.
In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, beat together the pumpkin puree, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until well blended and smooth.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, mixing until everything is well combined.
Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it if necessary. For each pancake, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Take the pancakes off the skillet and keep them warm while you cook the rest of the batter.
