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.ย These pancakes are one of his favorites and a fall breakfast staple in our house.

Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup white all-purpose flour can use 2 cups all-purpose if white whole wheat isn't available
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 egg whites slightly beaten
- 1-1/2 cups skim milk
- 2 Tbsp. canola oil
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flours, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, salt, cinnamon and brown sugar.
- In another medium sized mixing bowl, combine egg whites, milk, oil and pumpkin. Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture and stir until just moistened. If batter seems too thick, add a little milk to thin it out to desired consistency.
- Heat griddle or skillet on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour batter onto heated griddle or skillet using a 1/4 cup measuring cup. Flip when bubbles appear at the top. Serve with buttermilk syrup and enjoy!

I am making these right now… had a nibble……for quality control of course. They are fantastic and sooo easy! Thanks for the recipe!
YAY!!! I’m thrilled you liked them Ashley!!
Can i use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin? Thank you!
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!
Would love to know how many this recipe serves?
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!
I love anything pumpkin and these sound delish!
They are so yummy Debbie! I hope you’ll give them a try!
Serve with buttermilk syrup? What?
Hi Molly! These pancakes are so yummy with homemade buttermilk syrup – it’s my boys’ favorite! (It’s not healthy in the least, but so good!) Here’s the recipe to the one I make if you want to try it! http://yummyhealthyeasy.com/2012/10/the-best-homemade-waffles-and.html
