Ingredients
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, pumpkin purée, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add Complete Meal Vanilla, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix gently until combined.
Let the batter rest for 3–5 minutes. It should be thick but spoonable. Add a splash of almond milk if needed.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil.
Pour approximately 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
Flip carefully and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the pancakes are cooked through.
Stack the pancakes on a plate and finish with your favorite toppings. Enjoy warm!

Frequently asked questions
Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin purée?
Pure pumpkin purée is recommended for this recipe because it allows you to control the flavor and spices. Pumpkin pie filling usually contains added sweeteners and seasonings, which can change the finished pancakes. Look for canned pumpkin labeled “100% pumpkin” or use homemade purée with a similar consistency.
Can I make these pumpkin protein pancakes without oat flour?
Oat flour helps give the pancakes structure while keeping the preparation simple. You can experiment with another flour, but the amount of liquid and final texture may change. Different flours absorb moisture differently, so substitutions should be tested before relying on the same cooking time and measurements.
How do I keep my pumpkin pancakes fluffy?
Avoid overmixing the batter and allow it to rest for a few minutes before cooking. Use fresh baking powder and keep the skillet over medium-low heat. Pumpkin purée adds moisture, so cooking smaller pancakes helps the centers set without the outside becoming too dark.
How much protein is in these pumpkin pancakes?
This recipe uses one full scoop of Complete Meal Vanilla, which provides 25 grams of plant-based protein based on the product information. The egg, oat flour, and other ingredients also contribute to the finished recipe. Total protein per serving must be calculated using the current ingredient nutrition labels.
