      Who doesn’t love a good pancake? It’s kind of like pizza. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who does not like pizza. Then you ask, “For real? You don’t like pizza??”

      Pizza, pancakes, it’s all good. Both are staple foods that just kind of bring people together. Although with that being said, healthy pancakes need to be handled with care. Not all are created equal. This one is a winner. Promise. I have been serving this one up for years now.

      Pumpkin Pancakes

      Whole Wheat

      These are healthy….swear.

      Why this recipe rocks:

      • This recipes calls for:  whole wheat pastry flour which has an amazing way of “fluffing up” your baked goods or anything that needs, well, fluffing. Find this in your baked goods aisle or at any health food store.

      • This recipe calls for: milled flaxseed.  Flax is an excellent source of fiber and Omega 3’s (tired of hearing about Omega 3’s yet?? well they are essential for your health. eat up.)

      After opening, store the rest in a sealed container in the fridge. In the front. So that you do not forget it. Use in your oatmeal, on yogurt, in baked goods. Super versatile.

      • This recipe calls for: pumpkin. Pumpkin is low-cal and has an insane amount of Vitamin A and fiber. Sold. These pancakes are made with a whole cup of pumpkin. Others are only a 1/4-1/2 cup. Weak. Just be sure you buy straight up pumpkin (not the filling)

      Alright, the recipe:
      Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes

      2 ½ c whole wheat pastry flour

      1T flaxseed meal

      2T baking powder

      1t salt

      2t cinnamon

      ½ t ginger

      2 eggs

      2 cups milk of choice (I used almond milk)

      ¼ c canola oil if you are just starting your “health journey”. If you want to “up” your health game, use coconut oil

      1 c pumpkin puree

      3T agave nectar (or 4T honey)

      In a large bowl combine flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and ginger. In a medium size bowl combine eggs, milk, canola oil, pumpkin puree, and agave. Mix well. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and fold in to combine.

      Cook pancakes on a hot griddle.

      The pastry flour makes these puff out nicely and form a spongy cake-like texture

      Warm pumpkin pancakes on a cold weekend morning.

      Kind of excited to make eat these again.
