Pumpkin Spiced Granola Pancakes

Pumpkin Spiced Granola Pancakes are the perfect morning treat, filled with Fall spices, an unsuspecting twist from granola cooked right into the batter, and portioned just for one (you!). 

Yup, you read that title right. Pancakes. With granola in them. My Pumpkin Spiced Granola, to be exact. Yeah, now you know why I told you to hold some back as soon as it’s done. Boom!

Can I have a gripey whiney moment for a hot sec?

I know it’s only day 2 of Fall, but because pumpkins and mums have been shoved in my face for a good month now and Christmas displays are already being assembled in stores (give me a SECOND to enjoy fall, ok?!), I’m pretty peeved that I can’t find all of the “pumpkin spice” goodies that I know should be out there (and in my kitchen)!

I keep seeing pictures and announcements for gluten free pumpkin spiced waffles (Nature’s Path, I seem to have been skipped on this one), pumpkin yogurts (ok, yes I bought the Chobani and the Noosa, but I’m looking at you Siggi’s) and coffee yogurts, pumpkin body butter (come ON Trader Joe’s, I can’t keep sending my mom out to check for nothing!)…and yet, I can’t find any of it! Why is it not in my kitchen?! Why is this not all mine?!

The Pumpkin Spiced Jif Whips peanut butter? For some reason my Target stores got it a month and a half ago…for one week! I bought one, ate the whole tub, went searching for more and it was out of stock for a whole month (if I hear “our order should come in on Tuesday” one more time…)!  Luckily it is finally back in stock this week and I bought three tubs. Move out of my way.

The Glade candle I put in my IG favorites? Yup, dying over it. May have to buy a TON of those before they’re gone. Because they make the house smell so darn good. I was burning one the other day, my husband says “What are you making?! When will it be ready?!” Sorry hun, its just a candle, and you can heat up leftovers if you’re hungry.

Ok, rant over.

I digress.

So! I made you Pumpkin Spiced Granola on Monday. Then today, we take some of that killer fabulous granola, sprinkle it into pumpkin pie pancakes before we flip them, then also top the pancakes with more…crunch tastic! Pumpkin tastic!

I get it. These pancakes are actually pretty ugly. Well, pumpkin is an ugly food. You just have to look past the ugly and think about pumpkin pie. For breakfast. With a crunchy twist. Crisp. Crackle. Yum.

Oh, and the recipe is for one. Because we both know that you’re waking up early to make breakfast…for yourself. If you’re really nice and want to double the recipe so you can eat breakfast with company, then good for you! If not, I won’t tell a soul. Our secret.

Ingredients

1. 1/3 cup oat flour (pulse oats in a food processor or blender until flour)
2. 1 Tbs. coconut flour
3. 1 tsp. stevia (or sweetener of choice)
4. ½ tsp. baking powder
5. 1 egg white
6. 3 Tbs. pumpkin puree
7. ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
8. ½ tsp. vanilla extract
9. ¼ tsp each: cinnamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg
10. Pumpkin Spiced Granola (or your favorite fruit-free granola) [appx 1/3 cup]

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the flours, Stevia and baking powder. Add the egg white, pumpkin and almond milk. Stir until just combined (lumps are a-okay). Add the spices and give it a couple quick stirs.
2. Heat up your skillet over medium heat. Spray with nonstick spray (I use coconut oil spray).
3. Use a ¼-cup measuring cup to scoop out your batter into pancakes, well spaced, using the back of the measuring cup to help spread each out into a circle. Sprinkle granola on top of each batter circle. Cook for 3 min or until the sides look cooked, flip, cook for 2-3 more min.
4. Stack um up! I like to use more pumpkin puree, mixed with more spices, in between each layer, but that’s just me and my affinity for pumpkin. Oh, and maybe a bit of Greek yogurt mixed with maple syrup too. Use more granola to top it all off. Enjoy!
