Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes
Description
Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes combine oats, egg whites, cottage cheese, and pumpkin puree to create a unique pancake batter. The addition of baking powder leavens the batter, while pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon provide a warm, autumnal flavor. Cooking the batter on low to medium heat allows the pancakes to set gently without burning, and flipping them when bubbles form ensures an even cook and tender texture. These pancakes are small and tender, offering a subtly sweet and comforting breakfast choice.
Serving the pancakes with maple syrup or nut butter enhances their mild sweetness and adds moisture. The recipe yields about eight small pancakes, perfect for sharing. This preparation offers a different take on traditional pancakes by using oat-based batter and cottage cheese for protein and texture variation.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup old fashioned oats
- ½ cup egg white
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- cooking spray nonstick
- maple syrup for topping
Instructions
- Add oats, egg whites, cottage cheese, pumpkin, baking powder pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon into a blender and process until the batter is relatively smooth.
- Heat pan or griddle to low-medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Once hot, scoop out about a quarter cup of batter at a time and pour onto pan. (You should be able to make about 8 small pancakes.)
- Cook until little bubbles form and the edges of the pancakes are solid enough to put a spatula underneath, about 4-6 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for one to two additional minutes.
- For serving, place four pancakes on each plate and drizzle with maple syrup and/or nut butter.
