Pumpkin Pancakes


 It's Thanksgiving and pumpkin pancakes are a great way to start the day. These pancakes are delicious served with maple syrup but add a dollop of whipped cream and toasted pecans, well then it's really over the top delicious.
I still have pureed pumpkin in my freezer so I'm trying to use it before I buy any more. I have been tempted as I walk past the large bin of pumpkins at the supermarket. In the meantime I have been gifted with pie pumpkins from a dear friend. Thank you Susan.

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  1. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together pumpkin, egg, oil, and buttermilk.
  2. In a separate bowl mix together dry ingredients.
  3. Stir into pumpkin mixture just until combined.
  4. Heat griddle to medium high heat, oil surface lightly.

  3. I made these this morning, but I needed to add quite a bit more buttermilk. We took your suggestion of the whipped cream and pecans (why not, its a holiday). Also added a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the whipped cream. Yummy! I will make these again!

  4. These were so so good! I halved the ginger and added 1/4 tsp nutmeg. Amazing! And really filling, too.
