Current Image


Fluffy, pumpkin pancakes will delight your taste buds at breakfast or dinner. Top with sliced banana or applesauce.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 6 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin (canned)
  • 1 3/4 cups milk, low-fat
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine egg, canned pumpkin, milk, and vegetable oil; mix well.
  4. Add wet ingredients to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Batter may be lumpy. (For thinner batter, add more milk.)
  5. Lightly coat a griddle or skillet with cooking spray and heat on medium.
  6. Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto hot griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to burst, then flip pancakes and cook until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Makes about 1 dozen 3 1/2 inch pancakes.

Notes

If you don't have pumpkin spice on hand, don't worry -- it's just a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. In this recipe, you can substitute 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon each of ginger and cloves for the pumpkin pie spice.
