Savory Butternut Squash Pancakes image

This is a breakfast alternative and can be served with omelets and/or breakfast meat. They are not meant to be sweet, although the squash has it's own sweetness. The dried shallots add a subtle background flavor and are not at all obvious. No one will have a clue that they are eating squash, so it's a good way to get nutrients into those picky eaters. If desired, you could serve them with maple syrup.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon dried minced shallots
1 tablespoon hot water
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Saigon cinnamon
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 eggs
2 cups mashed, cooked butternut squash
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup dried currants
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
½ cup fat free sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon maple syrup

Steps:

  • Hydrate shallots with hot water in a small bowl, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Whisk eggs, squash, shallots, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until just mixed. Fold currants into batter.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup batter and drop into hot oil. Cook pancakes until crisp and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Mix sour cream, vanilla extract, and maple syrup together in a bowl. Serve atop the squash pancakes.

These pancakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I'm not usually a fan of butternut squash, but these pancakes changed my mind! The flavor is subtle and not overpowering, and the pancakes are perfectly fluffy.

These pancakes are a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional pancakes, since they're made with whole wheat flour and sweetened with maple syrup.
