Pumpkin and Orange Pancakes without Sugar: The Breakfast that Smells Like Fall 🍂🥞
There’s something magical about fall: the crisp morning air, the colors of the leaves, and the desire for satisfying, fragrant breakfasts. It’s on these days that my pumpkin and orange pancakes without sugar become the perfect comfort.
The preparation begins with the pumpkin: as soon as it enters the air fryer or the oven, its sweet and intense aroma begins to spread, turning the kitchen into a cozy little retreat. Cooking concentrates the flavors, removes excess water, and brings out almost honeyed, naturally sweet notes, without the need to add anything else.
When the batter meets the hot pan, here comes the most awaited moment: the bubbles that form on the surface, the aroma that becomes more and more intense, the texture that turns soft and golden. Already from here, you want to taste one right away, still warm and fragrant.
But the real touch of freshness comes with the oranges: thin, juicy, and fragrant slices, whose citrus note lights up the taste and creates an irresistible contrast with the velvety sweetness of the pumpkin. At the first bite, the palate is enveloped by a surprising balance: softness, freshness, and a fragrance that speaks of changing seasons.
A breakfast that is not only nutritious and light but a true ritual of pleasure: an invitation to slow down, enjoy the moment, and be pampered by the authentic taste of autumn.
So, are you ready to be won over by these pumpkin and orange pancakes? Prepare the pans… and let yourself be enveloped by the taste!
Oh my, how delicious!

Pumpkin and Orange Pancakes without sugar served with a drizzle of honey (optional)
Cut the pumpkin into pieces not too large and cook in the air fryer for 8 minutes at 356°F. You can also bake it in the oven, slightly increasing the cooking time: it usually takes about 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can cook the pumpkin in the microwave for 5 minutes.
Transfer the cooked pumpkin into a bowl, add an egg, and mix.
Pour the unsweetened almond milk into the bowl and blend everything very well with an immersion blender.
Add the potato starch mixed with type 1 flour and the baking powder.
Mix with a spoon. As shown in the photo, the mixture is not too liquid.
Grease a pan with a little oil, heat very well, and pour the mixture with a ladle. Cook for a couple of minutes on both sides.
Slice an orange.
Garnish the pancakes with oranges and a teaspoon of oil.
Serve warm and enjoy your meal.
