HEALTHY PUMPKIN PANCAKES



Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes image

My family loves these pancakes. They cook up very thick and heavy so two will seriously fill you up. They are great for teenagers who can eat you out of house and home, yet they aren't full of saturated fat, sugar, or processed flour. Also, pumpkin is a fruit so you are eating one of your servings of fruits and veges without even knowing it!

Healthy Pumpkin Banana Pancakes (Paleo Option) image

These quick and easy pancake medallions are very healthy and delicious. My 5-year-old loves them! If you don't have pumpkin on hand, just use a whole banana instead of half. Serve warm with your choice of toppings (maple syrup, jam, fresh fruit, honey, etc.).

HEALTHY PUMPKIN SPICE PANCAKES



Healthy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes image

Every year around September I get a HUGE craving for anything and everything pumpkin--especially this year since I'm expecting a little one this winter! This is what I came up with when craving pancakes but wanting something healthy, too. It is a take-off from the Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes in "Recipes from the Old Mill". Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 19 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 egg
1 egg white
1 cup flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 3/4 cups fat-free buttermilk (I use powdered)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree

Steps:

  • Beat eggs well until somewhat frothy.
  • Add other ingredients except pumpkin and mix.
  • Add pumpkin and mix again.
  • Fry batter in scant 1/4 cupfuls on a nonstick griddle or pan.
  • Try not to stack pancakes if possible; this helps retain the fluffiness :). I often store them on a cookie sheet in a 250°F oven until time to serve, which helps keep them warm.

HEALTHY PUMPKIN SOURDOUGH DISCARD PANCAKES



Healthy Pumpkin Sourdough Discard Pancakes image

Something to do with your sourdough discard instead of wasting it! You can also use active sourdough starter for this instead of discard, I've used both successfully. This is a modification of this: http://yumarama.com/blog/2008/06/worlds-best-pancakes-starter-discard-rescue-recipe/ to make it a bit healthier!

Time 40m

Yield 20 pancakes, 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk (more as needed)
3 eggs
1 cup sourdough starter
1 cup pumpkin

Steps:

  • Dump all in a bowl.
  • Preheat pan w/non-stick spray.
  • Whisk together. Add more milk as needed.
  • Test pan for readiness by waiting until water droplets sizzle.
  • Drop by 1/4 c amounts onto hot pan. Flip when bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor than canned pumpkin puree. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and mash it until smooth.
  • Add some spices. Pumpkin pancakes are the perfect way to warm up on a cold morning. Add some spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to the batter for a cozy and flavorful breakfast.
  • Make them gluten-free. If you're gluten-free, you can easily make these pancakes using gluten-free flour. Just be sure to use a gluten-free baking powder as well.
  • Add some mix-ins. Feel free to add some mix-ins to your pumpkin pancakes, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or berries. This is a great way to change up the flavor and make them more fun for kids.
  • Serve them with your favorite toppings. Pumpkin pancakes are delicious served with butter, syrup, or fruit. You can also top them with whipped cream or ice cream for a special treat.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast that's perfect for fall. They're also a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. With so many different ways to make them, you're sure to find a recipe that you love. So next time you're looking for a warm and flavorful breakfast, give pumpkin pancakes a try!
