Add pumpkin pie spice to the mixture and stir well.

Add 1/3 cup organic rolled oats to the mixture and mix until combined to form the pancake batter.

Spray a pan with oil and heat it up.

Using about 1/8 cup of batter, pour small pancakes onto the heated pan.

Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Once cooked, top the pancakes with 2 tablespoons of dry unsalted toasted pecan pieces and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
