Low-Calorie Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients for 12 medium pancakes | Total time:
- 1 cup of pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup of plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup of non-fat milk
- 2 large eggs (room temp)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup of oat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- a pinch of black pepper
- a pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of maple syrup or vanilla Greek yogurt for topping (optional)
How To Make These Low-Calorie Pumpkin Pancakes
Start by combining your wet ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together properly. These include the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, yogurt, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, also combine your dry ingredients, and whisk together to remove clumps. These include flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, black pepper, salt, and ginger.
Now make a hole in the middle of your dry ingredients and pour in your wet ingredients. Using a spatula, begin combining until you have a somewhat thickened batter.
Preheat your skillet and coat with a non-stick cooking spray( I use avocado oil cooking spray). Using a measuring cup, measure 1/4 cup of batter and pour in the skillet.
Let it cook on medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes before flipping it over and cooking for another 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Repeat for the rest of your batter and serve while still warm with a little bit of maple syrup or a few spoonful of vanilla Greek yogurt.
