Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and continue to cook, stirring, until thickened. Remove from the heat and let cool.To make the pancakes, combine the apple cider vinegar and almond milk in a medium bowl. Set aside to curdle.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, baking powder and baking soda.
- Add the squash purée, maple syrup and vanilla extract to the almond milk mixture. Fold in the flour mixture, stirring to combine fully.
- Heat a cast iron griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil. When hot, use a ladle to spoon the pancake batter onto the griddle. You should have six pancakes, depending on the size of your ladle. Cook until the pancakes are golden brown on the bottom, about 3-5 minutes,, then flip and brown on the other side, about 3-5 minutes.
