Whole Wheat Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Difficulty:BeginnerPrep time: 15 minutesCook time: 10 minutesTotal time: 25 minutesServings:5 servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup non-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. 
   Whisk the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and chocolate chips) together in a bowl.
2. 
   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.
3. 
   Mix the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients and mix until combined. The batter should be a little thicker than regular pancake batter.
4. 
   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.
5. 
   Repeat step 4 until you’ve used up all of the batter.
6. 
   Top with maple syrup, peanut butter, or your favorite nut butter and enjoy!
