Preheat your griddle and then in a small bowl, combine the soy milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside to let it curdle.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Once mixed, add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, apple sauce, vanilla, and now curdled milk. Mix until combined, without over mixing.
Drop about ¼ cup worth of your batter onto your hot griddle, leaving plenty of space between each pancake.
Cook until small bubbles have formed on the surface of your pancakes and the edges are golden brown, approx 5-6 minutes. Then flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
Serve with chopped pecans, sliced banana, maple syrup, blueberry chia jam, or berries.
Notes
If you don't have all the spices called for, but you have pumpkin pie spice, you may use 2 teaspoons of the pie spice to replace all four seasonings.Do not over mix your pumpkin pancake batter. Like most pancake recipes, a few lumps is perfectly fine, so mix until just combined.Make sure your griddle is HOT before cooking your pancakes. Since we're not using oil, you need a hot surface to prevent sticking. Test the heat by adding a drop of water to see if it sizzles.If you don't have or don't like pumpkin, you may use sweet potato or butternut squash puree in its place.Once cooled, you may refrigerate leftovers for 2-3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Make sure to let the pancakes cool before freezing.
