Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes
Made with whole wheat flour, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and pecans, these Pumpkin Pancakes are soft, fluffy, and filled with fall flavor. A quick and easy breakfast and the leftovers freeze well too.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (I prefer white whole wheat flour)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup buttermilk low fat
- 3 egg large, whites
- 1/4 cup pumpkin canned
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp canola oil (or coconut oil)
- 3 tbsp pecans chopped
- cooking spray
- maple syrup optional for topping, warmed
Instructions
- Mix all dry ingredients (first 5 ingredients) in a bowl.
- Combine buttermilk, egg whites, canned pumpkin, maple syrup, oil and vanilla in a bowl and mix until smooth.
- Combine wet ingredients with the dry and mix well with a spoon until there are no more dry spots then fold in pecans. Don't over-mix.
- Heat a large skillet on medium-low heat. Spray oil to lightly coat and pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter.
- When the pancake starts to bubble and the edges begin to set, about 2 minutes then flip the pancakes and cook an additional 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remainder of the batter.
- To serve, top with warmed maple syrup.
