Ingredients

Pumpkin purée

1 large pumpkin
Vegetable oil
Pinch of salt

Dry ingredients

100g sugar
250g self-raising flour
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
½-1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt

Wet ingredients

1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
10 tbsp pumpkin puree
200ml soya milk

Instructions

Pumpkin purée

Pre-heat the oven to 180˚C/350˚F/Gas Mark 4-5.
Peel the pumpkin (using a strong vegetable peeler), cut into slices (around 1 inch thick), lightly coat in oil, sprinkle with salt and place in the oven.
Cook for 40 minutes to 1 hour, turning once.
Blend in a high powered blender until smooth. It is also possible to do this with a stick blender but it will take longer.

Dry ingredients

Mix together in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Wet ingredients

Mix everything together in a large jug and then add the mix to the dry ingredients. Add a little more soya milk if the mixture is too thick. The consistency needs to be thick but slightly pourable.

Cooking

To make small pancakes use a mini frying pan or medium-sized for larger ones.
Heat a little oil in the frying pan then pour in the batter, making sure it covers the surface.
Cook on both sides for a couple of minutes on each side until golden.

We create vital resources to help educate everyone – vegan veterans, novices and the v-curious alike – about vegan food, health and nutrition; as well as the plight of farmed animals and the devastating environmental impact of farming.

Through this work we have helped thousands of people discover veganism; but we want to reach millions more! We rely entirely on donations as we don’t get any government funding.
