- 6Servings
Ingredients
2 large eggs
2 cups white whole-wheat flour
1½ cups whole milk
¾ cup unsweetened pumpkin purée
¼ cup unsalted organic butter, melted
2 tbsp organic evaporated cane juice
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp sea salt
Preparation
1. To a blender, add all ingredients and blend until smooth and thoroughly mixed, scraping down sides of blender with a rubber spatula if necessary.
2. Heat a nonstick griddle over medium-high and spray with cooking spray. Working in batches, pour a scant ¼ cup batter per pancake, making 3-inch circles; cook until small bubbles appear and burst on the surface and the underside is golden brown, 1½ to 2 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until golden on opposite side, 1 to 1½ minutes more.
3. Top with optional toppings such as thinly sliced apple, walnuts, a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
Note: Pancakes can be made ahead and frozen in an airtight container with parchment paper between the layers and then reheated in a toaster.
