Pre-heat oven to 375F.
Add rolled oats to high-speed blender or food processor and process, pulsing on and off for about 45 seconds, or until a “flour” is created.
Leave oat flour in blender and add remaining dry ingredients: coconut sugar, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Pulse quickly to combine.
Add pumpkin, milk, melted butter, and eggs to dry mixture and blend for 30 seconds until incorporated, scraping down sides with spatula, as needed.
Pour into approximate 13” x 18” rimmed baking sheet, that has been coated with cooking spray.
In medium bowl, mix together melted butter, coconut sugar, almond flour, oats, and chopped walnuts until combined and crumbly. Sprinkle this over the top of the pancake batter.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until set and top is turning golden. Remove and let cool in pan for 5 minutes.
Slice into 8 rectangles and serve with syrup of choice and any extra toppings (or eat plain). Can be meal-prepped by freezing in single portions and thawed and reheating when ready.
