This healthy whole-grain pumpkin pancake recipe produces fluffy cakes with a beautiful orange hue from pureed pumpkin and light crunch from toasted pecans. If you want to experiment with different types of whole grains, replace up to 1/2 cup of the whole-wheat flour with cornmeal, oats and/or buckwheat flour. Or add extra fiber and omega-3s by adding up to 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed or chia seeds.
1 ½ cups white whole-wheat flour (see Tips)
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 ½ cups buttermilk (see Tips)
1 cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup toasted chopped pecans (see Tips)
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
