Over the years, I’ve served a variation of these Pumpkin Pancakes to my three sons many, many times. I don’t even remember where I got the original recipe from but it was always a winner around our house. Fluffy, soft and full of warm fragrant spices.
Along the way, I have changed the original recipe to become completely my own version. This version is vegan but feel free to change it to what fits your family. I’ve also added sourdough starter but it’s completely optional. We always try and integrate our starter into recipes because we always have some on-hand. The recipe will stand on its own without it–just make sure you add an extra 1 cup of milk if you don’t use the starter.
