Pancakes made with whole wheat flour, pumpkin puree, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice topped with a sweet maple cinnamon swirl. A perfect pancake for fall.
I had pumpkin puree left over from making pumpkin chocolate chip bread when Recipe Girl tweeted Recipe Boy’s Maple-Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, so I decided to update my Pumpkin Pancake recipe with a fun new swirl.
I made these pancakes quiet a while ago, but decided to wait until fall to share them. This has been a super busy week for me, and with cooler weather finally here, it seemed like the perfect time to share them.[/donotprint]

- 2 egg yolks
- 2 egg whites, beaten to soft peaks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, almost melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

- In a medium bowl, whisk together butter, maple syrup, brown sugar and cinnamon. Spoon the filling into a Ziploc baggie and set aside.
