Hi everyone! I’m Jen from Yummy Healthy Easy. I’m married to a hunky husband and am the mom of four crazy boys, who are always hungry. 🙂 Since I’m a busy mom, I like to make and blog about meals that are quick, easy and (mostly) healthy with the occasional treat thrown in. I can’t even tell you how excited I am to be here today! I love The Recipe Critic and am always inspired by Alyssa’s recipes and photography. Thanks for having me!

So, like I said, four boys. They eat me out of house and home (as my mom likes to say). But they are my built-in taste-testers, which I guess is a good thing, right? Who else would eat all the stuff I make?!

Anyway, my oldest, who’s a big bad 6th grader now, loves breakfasts. Pancakes are his ultimate favorite thing in the whole entire world. If I announce that it’s breakfast for dinner, he seriously does a happy dance. I usually end up making a big breakfast a couple times a week, mostly for him. These pancakes are one of his favorites and a fall breakfast staple in our house.

Put simply, they are amazing. They’re fluffy, filling and delicious. The pumpkin makes them moist but isn’t overwhelming. It’s just the perfect amount of pumpkin. Of course the fact that these are “skinny” means you can go right ahead and slather them with butter and syrup! 😉 I hope you give these pancakes a try and then come visit me over at Yummy Healthy Easy for some more delicious recipes. See ya soon!

    1. I have found the best way to get nutritional info on all of the recipes is through MyFitnessPal.com. You just type in the recipe and it tells you! Skinnytaste.com is also a great resource for healthy and delicious meals and provides nutritional info. Hope this helps! XOXO

  2. Can we have the calorie count on this recipe pls? I am just trying to collect dessert recipes for my family that are under 250 calories. I am not sure if it is better to eat this or something like Carrot Muffins. THANK YOU

    1. I’ve personally never used fresh pumpkin in this recipe, but you should be able to use fresh pumpkin as long as it’s pureed and still only 1/2 cup! Thanks for the question!

    1. Hi Paula! It makes about 16 pancakes but it really depends on how much milk you add to thin out the batter. I’ll usually add a little more than the 1-1/2 cups of milk and so I can end up with anywhere from 16 to 20 pancakes. Thanks for the question! I hope you enjoy them!
