INGREDIENT NOTES:

PUMPKIN PUREE:

  • You must be careful in using pumpkin puree in this recipe. Don’t use pumpkin pie filling for your pancakes. Pumpkin puree will give your pancakes a good taste as well as a sweet taste. Butternut squash puree is a good alternative for you as well.

NON-FAT MILK:

  • As this recipe is for Weight Watchers, we will use milk with lower calories. This milk will make soft pancakes when you cook them in the pan. The mixture for your pancakes will also become thinner with its use. Another option that you can try is unsweetened almond milk.

EGG:

  • The mixture for the pancakes will start sticking together when you choose to add this to it. Also, eggs will be useful in giving a good shape to your pancakes. Using flax egg can also be a choice for you.

WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR:

  • Adding whole wheat flour to the pancakes will make them satisfying for you to eat. Also, this will give you fiber as well. Oat flour can be a idea for you to look for.

BAKING POWDER:

  • Fluffiness comes along in your pancakes when you add baking powder to them.

PUMPKIN SPICE:

  • The warm taste of pumpkin will come along when you decide to make use of pumpkin spice. Another idea for your use can be ginger + a little nutmeg + cinnamon.

ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENER:

  • You will not taste a lot of pumpkin if you use a sweetener in the pancake, which will help maintain the flavor. We use the zero-calorie one because this is a Weight Watchers recipe. Coconut sugar can be an option for your use as well.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • First of all, make a mixture of wet items in a bowl.
  • Then add the dry ones to the bowl as well to make a pancake batter.
  • Use some amount of non-stick cooking spray over the non-stick pan.
  • Put the pan over a medium flame.
  • Start adding batter in the pan and create circles from it like a pancake shape.
  • Cooking time for the pancake will be 3 minutes on one side.
  • After turning it over to the other side, cook for 2 minutes more.
  • Make the rest like this as well.
  • Then your warm and tasty pancakes will be ready.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

  • For adding toppings to your pancakes, you can spread some non-fat Greek yogurt or maple syrup (sugar-free).
  • Also, you can add more cinnamon for more taste in your pancakes.
  • Some fruit slices will also make your pancakes look better with more flavor in them.

TIPS:

  • Do not make too big pancakes because it might get difficult for you to cook them.
