HEALTHY PUMPKIN BANANA PANCAKES (PALEO OPTION)



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.

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!

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!

Time 25m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups whole wheat flour (I use whole wheat white flour)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (I use Splenda Brown sugar baking blend)
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 cups nonfat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons olive oil (so much better for you and doesn't affect the flavor)
1 cup canned pumpkin

Steps:

  • Mix all the dry ingredients well.
  • Mix all the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients until there are no clumps.
  • Cook on medium heat until the edges look dry, then flip.
  • Remember, these pancakes will be dense and thick. This is how they are supposed to turn out.
  • Super good with REAL maple syrup!
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor, choose a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin. These varieties are known for their sweet, dense flesh.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Canned pumpkin puree can be used in a pinch, but fresh pumpkin puree will give your pancakes a richer, more flavorful taste. To make fresh pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor or blender.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings: Pumpkin pancakes are delicious served with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pancakes are a delicious and nutritious fall breakfast. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own dietary preferences. Whether you like them plain or with toppings, pumpkin pancakes are a great way to start your day.
