Best Pumpkin Pancakes

What you’ll get from this recipe are pretty thick, moist, fluffy pancakes that are loaded with flavors of fresh pumpkin. These pancakes are great as a fall treat or as an awesome breakfast food on a warm, sunny autumn day. They’re tasty, thick, rich, adequately sweet and a little bit tangy due to the addition of lemon juice. Plus, they’re healthier than ordinary pancakes since they are filled with nutritious pumpkin flesh or puree. Here’s a tip before trying out this recipe, you may substitute lemon juice with orange juice or with buttermilk if you don’t have lemons.

Servings: 6

Ingredients

·            2 cups all-purpose flour

·            2 tablespoons brown sugar

·            1 tablespoon white sugar

·            2 teaspoons baking powder

·            1 teaspoon baking soda

·            1/2 teaspoon salt

·            1 cup pumpkin puree

·            1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

·            1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

·            1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

·            1 egg

·            2 cups milk

·            2 tablespoons vegetable oil

·            2 tablespoons lemon juice

·            2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

·            1 teaspoon vegetable oil

 

Preparation:

1.      In a large bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the mixture for two minutes until bubbly.

2.      In another bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and beaten egg. Gently stir to combine. Stir in milk, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Slowly add flour mixture, and stir just enough until moistened. Make sure not to over mix.

3.      Heat skillet over medium heat and coat with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.
