In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
In another bowl, mix almond milk with apple cider vinegar and let it stand for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.
In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt.
Add pumpkin puree, flaxseed mixture, almond milk mixture, coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
Fold in grated carrots, chopped spinach and pecans into the batter.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
Serve warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
