Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Makes 4 to 5 Servings (about 14 pancakes)
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed or wheat germ
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/3 cups 1% lowfat milk
- 1/2 cup canned 100% pure pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, flaxseed, sugar, chocolate chips, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin, and vanilla until well blended. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Lightly oil or coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Pour the batter onto the hot skillet using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, forming 4-inch pancakes.
- Cook until bubbles begin to appear on the surface of the pancakes and the bottoms turn golden, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other sides are golden, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining cooking spray and batter.
