Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour (or spelt flour)
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar (or granulated sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons gingerbread spice
  • 1 cup buttermilk*
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegan butter)
  • ¼ cup fancy molasses
  • 1 ripe Bartlett pear (cored, skin left on)
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to your blender (we used a Vitamix) and starting at Variable 1 (if using a Vitamix), slowly increase the speed to Variable 10. Blend for 30 seconds. Scrape the sides with a rubber spatula and blend for another 10 seconds.

  2. Heat a medium pan over medium-low heat and add a drizzle of oil. Add in one scoop of pancake batter (approximately 1/3-½ cup) and cook until the bottom is golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown as well, approximately 2-3 minutes.

  3. Repeat with the remaining batter! Serve with maple syrup if desired.
