Pumpkin Pancakes! Sounds perfect for breakfast in the morning!

1 lb steamed pumpkin flesh, cooled and mashed (about 1 cup mashed pumpkin)
3 eggs, beaten, or egg replacer (1 Tbsp plus 1½ tsp Ener G egg replacer whisked with 6 Tbsp of warm water)
2 cups dairy milk or plant milk
1 tsp vanilla
6 Tbsp melted butter, or vegetable oil
2 cups of flour
1½ Tbsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
Partyka's Roasted Pumpkin Seeds (optional; recipe follows)
Local maple syrup, for serving
Lightly sweetened whipped cream (optional)
Candied Pumpkin Seeds
2 cups pumpkin seeds
⅓ cup brown sugar
3 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
Pinch of salt
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground coriander

Mix the pumpkin, eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter or oil together in a bowl. In a second, larger, bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix well but do not overbeat.
Cook the cakes on a hot griddle as you would regular pancakes. Serve topped with candied pumpkin seeds with warm local maple syrup. A little cinnamon-scented whipped cream wouldn’t hurt, either!
Candied Pumpkin Seeds
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Toast the pumpkin seeds in a hot cast-iron skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes or until they puff slightly.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, orange juice, salt, cinnamon, and coriander. Add the toasted pumpkin seeds and toss to coat thoroughly.
Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Spread out the seeds so they do not overlap.
Bake in the oven until the seeds turn a darkish medium brown, about 12 minutes. Keep a close eye on them as they bake to make sure they don’t burn, or you will have to start all over.
Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire baking rack until cooled completely. Break apart if necessary and store in an airtight container.

Vegan Pumpkin Loaf

Ingredients:
3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup creamy nut butter (I used peanut butter)
1/4 cup canola oil
1 flax “egg”
1 1/4 cup oat flour or almond flour *
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Pinch of salt
2 tsp baking powder
Partyka's Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
optional toppings: crushed nuts, or chocolate chips
* Almond flour if you want this to be grain-free, although the loaf doesn’t hold together quite as well. Regular white flour works too!

Directions: In a large bowl whisk together the pumpkin, peanut butter, flax “egg,” maple syrup, and oil. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder & spices. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients just until combined. Transfer to a greased loaf pan, add desired toppings and press them in a bit. Bake for 40-45 minutes at 375 degrees, until a toothpick comes out clean. Transfer to cooling rack and let cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting.
