Chop the flesh of the pumpkin into even chunks and put them in a pot with a little boiling water. Steam for 10-15 minutes or until the flesh is soft before blending until smooth using a blender, food processor or mixer.
  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt in a bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together milk, pumpkin purée, egg, maple syrup and rapeseed oil.
  4. Fold mixture into dry ingredients.
  5. COOKING
    Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat.
  6. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides about 2 minutes per side; serve with maple syrup.
