Allergy Friendly Pumpkin Pancakes

Pumpkin seems to be a fall favorite for many.  If you made these pumpkin donuts, you will have some pumpkin puree left.  What to do but make some pancakes?

These pancakes are sure to be a hit.  And what is better?  They are free of the top eight food allergens!  But this recipe is adaptable.  Are you gluten free, but not on a milk free diet?  You can substitute the milk cup for cup.  Eat eggs?  Well, that might be a little trickier as I use Ener-G Egg Replacer’s equivalent of 1 ½ eggs.  But maybe one large/jumbo egg might do?  (Can’t say for sure since I do not use eggs and haven’t for years now).  Play around and see what works for you.

I adapted this recipe from About.com (I believe written by a Teri Gruss) for these delicious pumpkin pancakes.  What is neat about these pancakes is that they actually fluff up on the griddle and one can see bubbles.  I have not had that experience with other gluten free pancakes.
