Low-FODMAP & Gluten-free Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes

I love fall. The change in season to a crisper, lighter air. The burst of color with beautiful leaves. And, of course, the warmth infused in foods, with richly spiced flavors. 

Pumpkin recipes are one of my personal faves. I have never had a pumpkin inspired dish that I have not enjoyed! Both savory and sweet, the options are endless.

Of late, I was brainstorming new ideas for the blog, and I wanted a breakfast/brunch/morning theme. Pancakes were an obvious choice.  I have recipes for blueberry pancakes, lemon ricotta pancakes, potato pancakes, even a four flavor sheet pan pancake. But none with pumpkin! Who doesn’t love pumpkin pancakes with some warmed maple syrup?

So I made extra-special low-FODMAP Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes. They may be the BEST pancakes you have ever had. I use a little sugar, some half-and-half milk (lactose-free), and avocado oil in the batter for richness and flavor. Then I add chopped, toasted pecans for that awesome texture.  They don’t even need syrup!

If you prefer to use another mix-in (like semisweet chocolate chips), they would be delicious too.

Serve my low-FODMAP Pumpkin Pecan pancakes over your Thanksgiving holiday, or any weekend during the year.

Instructions

• Toast your pecans in a 350F oven for about 10 minutes, or else heat your skillet over medium and allow them to toast for about 5 minutes.  Watch so they don’t burn.  Remove from heat and turn off the stovetop
• In a large bowl, whisk together the GF Bisquick or alternative, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, allspice, and cloves
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, lactose-free half-and-half and low-FODMAP milk, butter or avocado oil, eggs and vanilla extract until smooth
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, add low-FODMAP milk to your preferred consistency, then add the toasted pecans
• Heat your large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat
• Add your oil and then begin to cook the pancakes, using about 1/3 cup batter for each
• Brown on one side, then flip and allow to continue cooking, adding oil as needed to the skillet
• Remove to a warm plate and continue until all the batter is gone
• Serve pancakes hot, adding maple syrup, whipped cream or other desired toppings

• Pecans are low-FODMAP in 30g servings
• Yield: About 14 pancakes
