Ingredients

For fluffy and delicious oat flour pancakes filled with pumpkin flavor, you’ll need the following items:

Banana: the riper the banana, the softer and sweeter the pancake.
Pumpkin puree: another reason to break out the pumpkin spice, and it makes these pancakes super moist.
Egg: adds structure to the batter and helps the pancakes rise.
Milk: regular dairy or your favorite non-dairy option.
Vanilla extract: a perfect compliment to the banana and pumpkin flavor.
Butter: melted and poured into the batter.
Oat flour: a naturally gluten-free flour you can make at home.
Brown sugar: adds the perfect amount of sweetness.
Baking powder: the secret ingredient to super fluffy pancakes.
Cinnamon: or pumpkin spice adds delicious fall flavor.
