Weight Watchers Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
-
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
-
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (or regular flour)
-
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 large egg
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, and honey (if using).
In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Cook the Pancakes: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or use a bit of butter/oil if desired.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
-
Serve: Serve with your favorite toppings, such as sugar-free syrup, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
