Time 25m

Yield 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1½ cups all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled off
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup pure pumpkin (such as Libby's)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more for serving
Vegetable oil, for cooking

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F and set a rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin and melted butter. Whisk in the milk, followed by the eggs and maple syrup. Add the flour mixture and whisk until smooth. If the batter seems too thick, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of milk. Do not over-mix.
  • Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat and coat lightly with vegetable oil. Drop about ¼ cup batter from a small ladle or large spoon and cook until the puffy and bubbling on top and golden and crisp on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the bottom is golden, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately with maple syrup or place on the prepared baking sheet to keep warm in the oven until all of the pancakes are ready.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The pancakes can be frozen for up to 3 months. After they are completely cooled, place a sheet of parchment or wax paper between each pancake and stack together. Wrap the stack of pancakes tightly in aluminum foil or place inside a heavy-duty freezer bag. To reheat, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake in a 375°F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until hot.

HEALTHY PUMPKIN PANCAKES



Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes image

Made with whole grains and yogurt, these low-calorie, healthy pumpkin pancakes are easy to make, thick, fluffy, and packed with fall spices!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
3/4 cup milk ((I used 1%))
2 tablespoons butter (plus additional for cooking the pancakes)
1 ½ cups white whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon*
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger*
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg*
3/4 cup pumpkin purée (pure pumpkin; NOT pumpkin pie filling)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or granulated sugar or honey)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pure maple syrup
Butter
Chopped toasted pecans
Vanilla greek yogurt

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and milk. Set aside and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl or saucepan, melt the butter. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
  • To the bowl with the rested milk and yogurt, add the pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk until well blended. Whisk in the melted, cooled butter.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Carefully pour in the wet ingredients. With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir very gently, just until the flour disappears. The mixture will look lumpy. Let rest while the skillet preheats.
  • To cook: If you'd like to keep the pancakes warm between batches, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat an electric griddle to 350 degrees F, or heat a large, nonstick skillet or cast iron skillet over medium low. Wait several minutes to allow the skillet fully preheat.
  • Melt a little butter on the skillet, or coat with nonstick spray (some nonstick surfaces may not need any butter/spray at all). Scoop the batter by scant 1/4 cupfuls, leaving room for the pancakes to spread. Let cook on the first side until bubbles form on top and the edges of the pancakes look dry, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, until the pancakes are golden and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Adjust the heat as you go if the outsides begin to darken too quickly, before the insides are cooked through.
  • Repeat with remaining pancakes, adding more butter or nonstick spray to the skillet as needed and keeping the pancakes warm in the oven between batches as desired. Serve hot, with desired toppings.

FLUFFY PUMPKIN PANCAKES



Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes image

Super-fluffy, tall, yet moist pumpkin pancakes. Yes, you can have it all in a pumpkin pancake recipe!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups buttermilk (or 2 tablespoons vinegar + enough whole milk, 2% milk, or unsweetened almond milk to equal 2 cups)
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 each eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly + more for cooking, if desired (can sub vegan butter or coconut oil))
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice blend*
1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt or table salt
Butter and maple syrup for serving

Steps:

  • To a large bowl, add the buttermilk. If using the vinegar plus milk option, let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the milk to turn to buttermilk.
  • Add the pumpkin, eggs, butter, and vanilla and stir with a whisk to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.
  • Pour the dry ingredients over the wet and mix just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Let batter rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Heat a non-stick griddle to 325 degrees or set large frying pan over medium heat. Melt a little butter on the cooking surface, spreading it evenly, if desired (if the surface is non-stick, you may not need to do this). Using a 1/3 cup measure (or, my pancake scooping weapon of choice, a trigger-handled ice cream scoop), pour the batter onto the griddle or into the frying pan. The pancakes are ready to flip when they look a little dry around the edges and start to form little bubbles, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown and completely cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes.
  • Serve topped with butter and maple syrup, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature before you start mixing the batter. This will help the pancakes to be light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.

Conclusion:

These light and fluffy pumpkin pancakes are the perfect way to start your day. They are easy to make and can be topped with your favorite ingredients. Whether you like them with butter and syrup, or with fruit and whipped cream, these pancakes are sure to please everyone at the table.
