Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter

  • Sift together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a large bowl. Create a well in the center.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, apple cider vinegar, and sugar.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Do not overmix. If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of extra milk.
  • Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken the batter.

Cook the Pikelets

  • Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
  • Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the hot surface for each pikelet, leaving space between them.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve the pikelets warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Pikelets

  • For extra flavor, use freshly grated nutmeg in addition to the pumpkin pie spice.
  • Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing will result in tough pikelets.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. Some prefer a sweeter pikelet, while others prefer a subtler sweetness.
  • If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute with lemon juice or leave it out altogether.
