Whole Wheat Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Ingredients
Instructions
Whisk the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and chocolate chips) together in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Feel free to substitute almond milk in for the non-fat milk.
Mix the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients and mix until combined. The batter should be a little thicker than regular pancake batter.
Spray a griddle with non-stick spray and turn it on medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle, and cook until the top starts to bubble and the edges start to come up from the griddle. Flip it over and let the other side cook for about a minute.
Repeat step 4 until you’ve used up all of the batter.
Top with maple syrup, peanut butter, or your favorite nut butter and enjoy!
