Pumpkin Pancakes

Pumpkin Pancakes

Ingredients:

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon packed brown sugar

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

¼ teaspoon salt

1 egg

1 cup fat-free milk

½ cup canned pumpkin

¼ teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon canola oil

1. Put the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt into a medium bowl.  Stir with a wooden spoon to mix. 

2. Crack the egg into a small bowl.  Beat with a whisk until yolk and white are mixed.  Add the milk, pumpkin, vanilla and oil to egg.  Beat with the whisk until ingredients are well mixed.

3.  Add egg mixture to flour mixture.  Stir with a wooden spoon until dry ingredients are wet.  (the batter should be slightly lumpy, not smooth.)

4. Lightly coat a skillet with cooking spray.  Heat to medium. 

5.  For each pancake, pour ¼ cup full of batter onto the hot skillet.  Cook over medium heat until pancakes have slightly bubbly surfaces and the edges are slightly dry, approx. 2 minutes.

6.  Turn pancakes over, cook until bottoms are golden brown. 

(I serve pancakes with a dollop of whipped cream with cinnamon sprinkled on top. ) 

Enjoy~
