We love pancakes at our house. So in honor of Halloween I decided to try pumpkin pancakes. I searched the web for a great recipe and found one at Taste of Home that was lower in fat. I merged that with my favorite whole wheat pancake recipe and they were a big hit. Next time I think I’ll try adding diced apple to the recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspon pumpkin pie spice
- 2 cups fat-free milk
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 egg whites, beaten to soft peaks
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin, egg yolks and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in egg whites. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot griddle coated with cooking spray; turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until second side is golden brown.

Pumpkin pancakes sound great! A while back I made Bobby Flay’s pumpkin french toast, which was good, but the pumpkin batter didn’t adhere that well to the bread, too think.
We’re pancake people too. Maybe a little maple butter on top? mmmm
