Pumpkin Pancakes

  • 6

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups 1% or skim milk
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 Tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a separate bowl. Stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine. Batter should be thick but smooth.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Using a 1-ounce cookie scoop or similar-sized spoon or cup, scoop batter onto the griddle, spreading out gently with the back of your scoop or spoon so the pancake is about 4 inches in diameter. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

TIP: To keep finished pancakes warm while the rest of the batch is still cooking, I put my oven on the lowest heat setting (usually 170º-200º depending on your oven) and place the pancakes on a cookie sheet or oven-safe plate in the oven until I’m done cooking.
