Pumpkin Pancakes are one of my all time favorite fall recipes. I’ve made them with pumpkin puree and canned pumpkin, all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. But this year, when I attempted to make a gluten-free version, it was a total flop. I ended up with pancakes that remained runny inside, no matter how brown and crisp the outside became. I was determined to keep trying to find the perfect recipe when my husband Gary, who happens to be a terrific cook, offered to give it a try. Of course, I gratefully accepted his offer. He combined several different pancake recipes in order to achieve our goal: The Perfect Pumpkin Pancakes.

These pancakes are almost too good to be true. I’d bet money that your family and friends won’t even be able to tell they’re gluten-free. Light and full of fall flavors and pumpkin goodness, these pancakes were a hit with everyone in our household, including our seventeen month old. The leftover pancakes reheated wonderfully, so I have plans to make a double batch often over the next few weeks to keep in the fridge as an easy, delicious breakfast!

Keep in mind, the type of gluten-free flour you use makes a difference. We used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1 To 1 Baking Flour, which I love! I’ve also heard good things about Pamela’s Gluten-Free Flour, but I haven’t personally tried it yet. Not gluten intolerant? If you don’t have access to gluten-free flour and aren’t gluten intolerant, these pancakes would be delicious made with all purpose wheat flour in the place of gluten-free flour.

    I couldn’t pin this recipe fast enough!!! I am violently allergic to food colouring so of course all those horrible artificial creamers are off limits for me. I feel like I am left out of the yummy fall beverages. Not this year though. Thanks for coming up with this post.

      Wow, food colouring is in so many foods! That must be tough! I plan to share a recipe for caramel apple popcorn in the next few weeks that is made from scratch, and one of my favorite things about the recipe is that it contains no artificial ingredients. I hope you enjoy the creamer recipe!
