Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Pancakes or Waffles (Plant-Based, Oil Free Vegan)

Weekend family breakfasts are a highlight in our house. So much so, that we have dubbed Saturdays, “Special Breakfast Saturdays.” We have fun making and eating breakfast together; and we keep it simple and delicious by regularly making pancakes or waffles. Lately we’ve been loving these pumpkin spice flavoured ones. Using the same wholesome ingredients like pumpkin, banana, and oats, you can make either pancakes or waffles with this easy recipe. What’s your fave: pancakes or waffles?
