This easy recipe for gluten free pumpkin spice pancakes is the perfect fall breakfast! These healthy pancakes are made with maple syrup and pumpkin puree. It's really easy to make fluffy pancakes from scratch for brunch, breakfast or dinner.
I set my oven to the lowest setting and then put my cooked pancakes on a plate or baking sheet to keep them warm until all the pancakes are cooked and ready to serve. I like to serve the pancakes with butter and maple syrup. They are also delicious served with my Gluten Free Cranberry Jam.

What does egg do in pancakes?
Since these are gluten free pancakes they lack the structure that gluten would provide. Adding eggs to the recipe lets the pancakes rise and get fluffy. Without eggs the pancakes may be dry and the batter more like a biscuit dough.
Some try adding more oil, but the oil won't help the batter rise while you're cooking the pancakes and you will end up with flat pancakes. You can use ¼ cup of applesauce for each egg omitted but you will also need to add ½ teaspoon of baking powder so your pancakes will rise.
Supplies
Why do you use buttermilk in pancakes?
The acid in buttermilk reacts with the baking soda and will add air bubbles and more fluffiness to your pancakes. Buttermilk pancakes will have a moist and fluffy texture.
If you don't have buttermilk you can make it by adding one tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to one cup of 2% milk. The lemon or vinegar adds the acid to the milk and will react to the baking soda.
