Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes are whole-wheat pumpkin pancakes that taste just like a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. They are easily whipped up in the blender and use no refined sugar.

Healthy with No Refined Sugar and Using Whole Wheat Flour

Ok, how can pancakes that taste like cookies even be a thing? But trust me, these Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes are just that. A heavenly way to eat dessert for breakfast pretty much guilt-free.

Here is why:

MY LATEST VIDEOS

• No refined sugar – There is just a little honey in these pancakes to sweeten them. When I use maple syrup on top, I found that I didn’t even need any honey. Even dark chocolate chips sweeten the batter nicely.
• Pumpkin puree – Can it get much healthier than having a vegetable for breakfast? Also, the pumpkin puree allows to cut down the fat in this recipe to a minimal 2 tablespoons of coconut oil for the entire batch of 10 pancakes.
• Whole wheat flour – You cannot even taste that there isn’t any white flour in these pancakes. I bet even gluten-free flours or homemade oat flour would work in this recipe.
• Rolled Oats – Whole grain oats are my favorite healthy staple for breakfast and dessert.

Pointers For This Delicious Recipe

These Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes are small and thick, just like an oatmeal cookie. Around 3 pancakes makes a decent filling serving.

Here are a few pointer for success in making this recipe:

• Use a blender – You can easily whip all ingredients together at once by pulsing them in a blender until combined. Only the rolled oats and chocolate chips should be stirred in by hand. You want to keep those whole for a great texture contrast.
• Adjust the batter consistency – The batter should be thick. If it seems too runny, don’t be afraid to add a little more flour or rolled oats to thicken it up. Should the batter be too dry, a little extra milk can solve that.
• Cook on medium-low heat – I believe due to the pumpkin puree, the outside of these pancakes browns much faster that regular pancakes. So be patient and cook on fairly low heat.
• Flip carefully – These pumpkin oatmeal cookie pancakes are a little more fragile. I am usually using a knife to help guide the pancake onto the spatula before flipping.

TIP:
Leftover pancakes still taste fantastic when reheated the next day.
