Whole Wheat Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes
Description
The pancakes start with a dry mix of white whole wheat flour, cane sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Separately, warm water, avocado oil, and baking powder are whisked until foamy, then almond milk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract are added to form the wet ingredients.
Combining wet and dry without overmixing leaves some small batter lumps, preserving fluffiness. Cooking on a 300°F griddle sprayed with cooking spray, the pancakes cook until edges are set and bubbles form on top, then they are flipped and cooked until golden brown on both sides.
The result offers a tender crumb and mild pumpkin and spice flavor, suitable for a fall breakfast or brunch. They pair well with maple syrup or butter. Careful handling of the batter and cooking temperature ensures a light texture without density or toughness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour (120 grams)
- 1/2 cup cane sugar raw organic
- 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water warm
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree canned
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, pie spice, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk the water, oil, and baking powder until foamy. Add in the milk, pumpkin, and vanilla and whisk until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet and whisk until just combined, but a few small lumps remain. Do not over-mix.
- Heat your griddle to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and spray it generously with cooking spray.
- Fill a 1/4 cup sized measuring cup about 3/4 of the way full and pour onto the griddle, spreading out slightly. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Cook until the edges of the pancakes look cooked, bubbles start to form on the top, and the bottom is golden, about 4 minutes. Gently flip and cook another 3 to 4 minutes.
