Instructions
Pumpkin Puree (if needed)
Peel and deseed the pumpkin before chopping into small sized pieces. Place in a microwave proof bowl with a couple of tablespoons of water. Cook on high in the microwave for 7 to 10 minutes (until the pumpkin is soft).
Drain and allow to cool for a couple of minutes, before transferring the pumpkin into a blender container.
Puree with water (add more if needed).
Pancakes
Put the gluten-free low fodmap plain flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl whisk together the low fodmap milk, egg, oil, and pumpkin puree.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick frying pan on medium heat (I use oil spray). Use about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are golden brown on both sides, and just cooked through.
Serve hot with pumpkin seeds, macadamia nuts, blueberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
