The fluffiest pancake recipe you’ll ever make, these whole-grain pumpkin pancakes are spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger.
The holidays are right around the corner which means cozy, leisurely breakfasts with friends and family are on the horizon! During this time, I find that cozy recipes like these Gingerbread Buckwheat Pancakes, Cinnamon Roll Popovers, and Banana Nut French Toast Bake are perfect for festive brunches that bring the whole family together. However, while my family loves these fluffy pumpkin pancakes all year round, my boys especially crave them during the holidays.
Filled with real pumpkin, warm cinnamon and a hint of ginger, these whole grain pumpkin pancakes are healthy and delicious. However, to keep them light and fluffy, I use Stonyfield plain low fat yogurt in place of any butter or oil. This adds protein, reduces fat, and your kids will never know its healthy! Personally, I prefer to save my butter to serve on top anyway.
How do you make pancakes fluffy?
This pancake griddle is my secret weapon when it comes to making perfectly fluffy pancakes every time! In addition, it is important to mix all wet and dry ingredients separately. However, be careful not to over-mix your ingredients. You want them just combined, not completely blended. Otherwise, your pancakes will be flat and sad.
Freezing
Leftovers freeze well and are ideal for last-minute house guests. In fact, these fluffy pumpkin pancakes are ideal for feeding a crowd. So, I recommend making a double batch. However, I’ll warn you, there are rarely any leftovers!
