Pumpkin Pancakes

Advertisement

Health Note

Festive and flavorful, these pancakes contain half the calories of those made with buttermilk. Plus, pumpkin contains beta-carotene, which may reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer and offer protection against heart disease.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup cake flour
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Cooking spray
  • Maple syrup or honey

Preparation

Whisk together pumpkin, yogurt, baking soda, egg yolk, and flour. Whisk egg whites with salt; fold into pumpkin mixture. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Spoon in 1/3 cup batter for each pancake. Flip when tops are covered with bubbles and edges are slightly brown (about 3 minutes per side). Drizzle with syrup or honey.
