  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup almond milk (or your favourite milk)
  • ¼ cup Greek yoghurt
  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 eggs, whisked
Directions
  1. Add pears to a small saucepan with the water, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 30 minutes or until pears are tender.
  2. Strain the water from the pears. Once cooled, chop pears into cubes and set aside until needed
  3. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to a large mixing bowl
  4. In a separate bowl, add milk, yoghurt, pumpkin puree and maple syrup and mix until well combined
  5. Add liquid ingredients to the bowl with the flour and stir until combined
  6. Finally add the eggs and mix through the batter
  7. When ready to cook pancakes, add a small amount of coconut oil to a frying pan, add half a cup of batter and cook until bubbles start to form on the top of the pancake, which should take a few minutes. Flip over and cook on the other side for around 1 minute or until cooked through. Repeat process until you have your desired amount of pancakes cooked. You can store the batter in the fridge for a few days
  8. Top pancakes with poached pears and drizzle with maple syrup
