GF Jules Recipe: Pumpkin Pancakes

With fall just around the corner (shedding a few tears that summer in Asbury Park is over), why not add some pumpkin spice to your life. I was gonna say “to your breakfast” but who said you can’t have pancakes for dinner! So let’s kick off the first Daily Digest recipe.

Pumpkin Pancakes

Healthy pumpkin purée added to these yummy pancakes makes them rich in color, flavor and nutrition! Gluten free and vegan so everyone can enjoy!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Eat Time: About 30 seconds 😉

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup gfJules® All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour
• 3 Tbs. dairy or non-dairy milk powder (Coconut Milk Powder) OR almond meal
• 1 Tbs. granulated cane sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
• 3/4 -1 cup apple cider OR apple juice OR orange juice
• 6 Tbs. pumpkin purée
• 2 Tbs. vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
• 1 egg or 2 more Tbs. pumpkin purée as egg replacer
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
• high heat oil for frying (unless using non-stick pan)
• chocolate chips (optional) (like Enjoy Life® allergen-free mini chocolate chips)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Whisk flour, milk powder, sugar, baking powder, salt (or gfJules Pancake and Waffle Mix) and spice (plus pecans, if using) together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together remaining ingredients. Gradually stir the liquid mixture into the dry ingredient bowl.
2. Heat a griddle or skillet to medium heat and pour just enough oil into your pan to barely cover the entire surface (note: if using a non-stick pan, oil is not necessary).
3. Spoon batter onto the hot oil in the size and shape you desire. Cook until the batter begins to bubble, then flip; cook the second side until lightly browned.
4. If making Jack-O-Lantern Pancakes, feel free to add food coloring if you like them looking very orange. Also be sure to cook slowly at a lower temperature so that the faces do not get too darkened and the chips don’t get too melty … or they’ll look like scary Jacks!
5. Serve with powdered sugar and cinnamon on top, or just with pure maple syrup.

Who is GF Jules?

Besides being a good human being and a dear friend of mine, here’s more about her.

As a celiac diagnosed in 1999, and as an indomitable perfectionist with a penchant for equality and fairness, this former domestic violence attorney was simply unwilling to accept the dry, gritty, vacuous foods that were the norm then. Two years in her kitchen later, Jules had perfected an all-purpose gluten free flour blend that enabled her to continue her passion for baking.

Jules’ mission in life is to make your gluten free life safe, successful, delicious and even fun! All of Jules’ products and recipes focus on helping bringing families back together around the table to share meals again. The same meals. This no-compromise approach is why Jules’ products have been voted #1 again and again in the consumer choice awards and why Jules was voted Gluten Free Person of the Decade in 2020.

All of her products are certified gluten free and kosher, and are made in a dedicated gluten free facility. They are also certified Free From the Top 9 Food Allergens (NO: wheat, soy, dairy, egg, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish, or crustaceans), non-GMO and proudly made in the USA.
