Fluffy Vegan Pumpkin Cinnamon Pancakes

These spicy pumpkin pancakes are the best for a cozy autumn breakfast. Light and fluffy, they are packed with fall flavor and perfect with hot cup of tea or coffee to warm you up on chilly mornings. For this recipe you can use premade pumpkin puree or make your own by simply baking any pumpkin (preferably, butternut squash). Easy to prepare, they are best served with maple or agave syrup, vegan butter and apples.
