Grain-Free, Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pancakes

I had opened a can of pumpkin Saturday, so Sunday morning I went looking for another breakfast pumpkin recipe. I made a version of the gluten-free pumpkin pancakes from the Against All Grain website. I didn't make her topping or use any bacon, and substituted a few ingredients, but I'll make note of those below. These are a good healthy version of a seasonal breakfast!

Grain-free, Gluten-free Pumpkin Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup almond butter*
• ½ cup pumpkin puree
• ¼ cup honey*
• ¼ cup almond milk or coconut milk*
• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil more for pan
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
• ¾ teaspoons nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ginger
• ¼ teaspoon cardamom
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat a griddle or shallow sauté pan to medium heat. Lightly brush with coconut oil.
2. Place all of the wet ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on medium speed until combined.
3. Add the remaining dry ingredients; beat until smooth and fully incorporated. Allow batter to sit for 5 minutes, then beat again for 30 seconds until thickened.*
4. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot pan. Wait for the edges to start to lift, about 30 seconds, then gently flip the cake over. Continue cooking for 15-20 seconds, until cooked through and browned on both sides.

Jenny's notes:

I used peanut butter (it's what I had), coconut sugar in place of honey, and dairy milk (because it's what I had.) I also dumped everything in a canister and used my immersion blender, and it was fine.
