Batter Up with Pumpkin Aebleskiver Danish Pancakes

If you can mix up pancake mix, you can make these with just a couple extra steps. Let me walk you through the process.

The first part of building the puffy pillowy texture of the Gluten Free Pumpkin Aebleskiver Danish Pancakes is to whip three egg whites. Beat them until they’re thick stiff clouds.

Once you’ve beaten your egg whites, mix your pancake mix according to the package directions with one exception, don’t add the egg. The additions you are going to add are pumpkin puree and spice along with vanilla and an egg yolk.

After that use a spatula to fold in the egg whites. Be gentle to keep them delicate and keep it airy.

Meanwhile heat your aebleskiver pan over medium low heat and grease it with Dairy Free butter. Add approximately 2 tablespoons of the batter to each cup. Be careful not to overfill them. It’s time to flip when bubbles begin to form. Using a skewer or toothpick gently flip them over so the other side can brown.

Finish these off with a combination of cinnamon, sugar, and unsalted caramel powder. For a final touch that takes these over the top drizzle them with your favorite Dairy Free caramel. You’re welcome!
