The temperature dropped below 80, we had a bonfire last night, and I was feeling very fallish on this Halloween morning. So, I decided to make pumpkin pancakes. Happy Halloween!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups whole wheat pancake mix
- 1 Tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 Tsp nutmeg
- 1 Tbl vanilla
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tbl brown sugar
- 1 Tbl vegetable oil
- 3/4 Cup canned or pureed pumpkin
- 1 Cup milk, (add more for desired consistency)
- 3/4 Cup chopped pecans
Method
- Mix the pancake mix and spices together
- In another bowl, whisk the egg and the brown sugar together
- Stir in the oil, vanilla, the pumpkin, and the milk
- Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients
- Stir with a spatula until just combined adding more milk to obtain the right consistency
- Cook over medium heat, adding nuts right after you pour the pancakes in the pan
- Serve hot with maple syrup and confectioners’ sugar sprinkled on top
i just made some pancakes, and never thought about using this seasonal ingredient in them – they must taste deliciously moist (i will try it some time)
