Pumpkin Oat Chocolate Chip Blender Pancakes

Our beloved (and easy) blender pancakes are back, this time with a pumpkin twist!  These are the perfect breakfast treat and are also a hit for Breakfast for Dinner!

Serves 4-5

3-4 pancakes per serving

Ingredients:

1 cup quick cooking oats

1 cup flour (or gluten free blend)

1 cup almond milk

3 eggs or egg whites 

1 can pumpkin purée

2 Tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 

1/2 tsp nutmeg 

1/2 tsp ginger 

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:

Combine all ingredients ex chocolate chips in a blender until smooth. Mixture will be thick but should be easily scoopable.  Add chocolate chips at end and pulse once or twice to blend but not further pulverize. 

Heat a griddle or large nonstick saucepan over medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray or oil to ensure pancakes don’t stick. Pour pancake mixture in roughly 1/4 cup circles onto pan or griddle. Fit as many as possible at a time without overcrowding. Cook 2-3 minutes on first side. Pancake will start bubbling slightly and brown on the edges. Flip and cook 2-3 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.

Serve warm. Top with syrup and mini chocolate chips or desired toppings.
