Easy Vegan Pumpkin Pancakes
In this article you will find an easy and delicious Vegan Pumpkin Pancakes recipe that can easily be made gluten free and is oil free!
This recipe is very similar to my original vegan oatmeal pancake recipe, however, it’s fall and we needed something with pumpkin in it to warm up our mornings!

This recipe is vegan, however, because of the sugar and flour, I cannot say it is 100% whole food plant-based. But even in saying that, this recipe is still great for kids or if you’re trying to transition to eating healthier, as it has no animal products or oil.
It’s that time of year again where you start buying pumpkin puree, and if you’re not vegan you get your pumpkin spice latte (and if you are vegan, make it at home)!
But, even if you’re not a pumpkin spice fanatic, I’m not much of one either, these fluffy vegan pumpkin pancakes won’t feel like too much.
Plus, they’re bit healthier than your regular pancakes; no eggs, half oat flour (aka- more fiber), no oil. They’re also super easy to make these vegan pumpkin pancakes gluten free by using gluten free oat flour for all the flour required for the recipe.
In fact, we replace the oil in regular pancakes with pumpkin puree!
How to Make these Easy Pumpkin Pancakes
Let’s get to making these vegan pancakes!
You’ll want to start this recipe by getting out…
- pan to cook them on
- large mixing bowl & spoon
- all of your ingredients
Start by turning on your stove
After years and years of making pancakes, I’ve found that the best way to start making pancakes is with a warm griddle (or pan).
If you put room temperature batter onto a room temperature griddle and wait for it to heat up, it’s not going to work very well.
Then make the batter
This is really simple.
All you have to do is mix together all of the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon).
Add in the wet ingredients (pumpkin puree & water).
Mix it well and add 1/4 – 1/2 cup of the batter to the pan or griddle for each pancake.
Wait for them to bubble up, flip, then remove when done!
Recipe Notes
You can add slightly more pumpkin puree than the 6 tbsp, but not too much more or you’ll end up needing to add more flour.
These freeze & reheat well!
*If you’re new to making pancakes, it does get easier with practice. Believe it or not, I had the hardest time making pancakes, or really anything, on the stove. Now I can make them (almost) picture perfect. Just don’t ask me for animal shaped pancakes, I can barely do the Mickey Mouse ears ones!
