PUMPKIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F and set a rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin and melted butter. Whisk in the milk, followed by the eggs and maple syrup. Add the flour mixture and whisk until smooth. If the batter seems too thick, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of milk. Do not over-mix.
• Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat and coat lightly with vegetable oil. Drop about ¼ cup batter from a small ladle or large spoon and cook until the puffy and bubbling on top and golden and crisp on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the bottom is golden, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately with maple syrup or place on the prepared baking sheet to keep warm in the oven until all of the pancakes are ready.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The pancakes can be frozen for up to 3 months. After they are completely cooled, place a sheet of parchment or wax paper between each pancake and stack together. Wrap the stack of pancakes tightly in aluminum foil or place inside a heavy-duty freezer bag. To reheat, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake in a 375°F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until hot.

WHOLE WHEAT PUMPKIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• If you'll be using an electric skillet, preheat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir until blended.
• In a separate bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin purée, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract and melted butter. Whisk until thoroughly blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir until no big lumps remain. (If your butter or oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, just warm the mixture in the microwave for 15 to 30 seconds until it melts again, or let the mixture rest for a few minutes in a warm place).
• If you're not using an electric griddle, heat a heavy cast iron skillet or nonstick griddle over medium-low heat. You're ready to start cooking your pancakes once the surface of the pan is hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on contact.
• If necessary, lightly oil the cooking surface with additional oil or cooking spray (I don't oil the surface of my non-stick griddle and my pancakes turned out great).
• Using a 1/3-cup measure, scoop the batter onto the warm skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes. It's ready to flip when about 1/2-inch of the perimeter is matte instead of glossy. Flip each pancake and cook on the opposite sides for 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
• Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed. If necessary, dial the heat down to prevent burning the pancakes. Serve the pancakes immediately, or stack them and cover the plate with a tea towel to keep them warm.

RECIPE: DISAPPEARING WHOLE WHEAT SPICED PUMPKIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, milk, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla.
• In a separate mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour (we recommend Great River stone ground organic whole wheat flower - we buy it in bulk), baking powder, baking soda, and spices. Whisk until uniformly mixed together.
• Combine the wet and dry ingredients and whisk or blend together.
• Put a frying pan or griddle on medium heat. Once the pan is heated, lightly butter the bottom of the pan (use real butter from local, free-range cows, not the fake stuff!)
• Ladle a scoop of batter onto the griddle based on the size of pancakes you prefer.
• Once bubbles form on the uncooked side of the pancake, flip them and cook for a few minutes until both sides are brown.
• Stack 'em on a plate, add some pure maple syrup or fruit preserves to the top, and enjoy with someone special!

PUMPKIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a separate bowl. Stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

HEALTHY PUMPKIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and milk. Set aside and let rest for 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl or saucepan, melt the butter. Set aside to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
• To the bowl with the rested milk and yogurt, add the pumpkin puree, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla. Whisk until well blended. Whisk in the melted, cooled butter.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Carefully pour in the wet ingredients. With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir very gently, just until the flour disappears. The mixture will look lumpy. Let rest while the skillet preheats.
• To cook: If you'd like to keep the pancakes warm between batches, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat an electric griddle to 350 degrees F, or heat a large, nonstick skillet or cast iron skillet over medium low. Wait several minutes to allow the skillet fully preheat.
• Melt a little butter on the skillet, or coat with nonstick spray (some nonstick surfaces may not need any butter/spray at all). Scoop the batter by scant 1/4 cupfuls, leaving room for the pancakes to spread. Let cook on the first side until bubbles form on top and the edges of the pancakes look dry, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, until the pancakes are golden and cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Adjust the heat as you go if the outsides begin to darken too quickly, before the insides are cooked through.
• Repeat with remaining pancakes, adding more butter or nonstick spray to the skillet as needed and keeping the pancakes warm in the oven between batches as desired. Serve hot, with desired toppings.

FLUFFY PUMPKIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices together until well combined.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, pumpkin purée, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. (A few small lumps are O.K.)
• Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Drop the pancakes into the pan by the 1/4 cup, making sure to leave plenty of room in between for the batter to expand.
• Cook for a minute or two, until the batter bubbles at the edges and browns on the bottom, then carefully flip. Cook another minute or two, until the batter is completely cooked through and the pancakes are puffy and deep golden brown. Repeat until all of the batter is used. Serve the pancakes as you make them or keep the pancakes warm as you cook them by setting them on a baking sheet in a 250-degree oven.
