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.
