Here’s a neat twist on pancakes to try over the holidays. As regular readers will know, I’m a big fan of pumpkin recipes – they are an excellent low calorie way to add moistness and flavour to many baked products and desserts.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups whole grain flour
- 3 tbsp brown sugar Splenda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup skim milk
- 3/4 cup canned pure pumpkin
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter or margarine
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Simply make these pancakes as you would any other pancake. Whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the wet to the dry, and whisk just until smooth (batter will be thick).
Heat a non stick pan over medium-high heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the top of the pancake and bottoms are a bit brown, about 1 minute. Flip and cook for about another 30 seconds or until they are cooked.
Delicious with some cinnamon and Splenda sprinkled on top!
Makes about 15 pancakes.

Thanks again goes to Deb’s Kitchen for this creation.
Happy Holidays!
