Trim Healthy Tuesday: DELICIOUS Pumpkin Pancakes (E Style)

Trim Healthy Mama Pumpkin Pancakes - ETrim Healthy Tuesday: Delicious Pumpkin Pancakes (E Style)

I know I am on a bit of a pumpkin kick right now, but who isn’t?!  I just LOVE this season.  The smells, the views, the trees, the cool, crisp air, sweaters, long sleeves, scarves, blankets, etc.  I just adore it.

This morning my kids woke up and asked for a special breakfast, and, honestly, I really wanted to make one for them.  Since pancakes are a treat around here (simply because I usually have to make such a huge amount to please the masses), I figured a delicious pumpkin pancake breakfast would be the perfect order of the day!

But, I wanted to make it friendly for all of my kids, which meant gluten-free, and I wanted it to be friendly enough for me to have a few (i.e. THM-friendly).  This is what I came up with.  And boy were they delicious!  Mmmmmm….

What I love about this recipe is that it was a total throw together from ingredients I had on the shelf anyway (yes, I buy a few extra cans of pumpkin this time of year for spontaneous pumpkin flavored treats).  It was a quick and easy pancake frenzy to enjoy with the kids before we started our school hours.  And, truly, I enjoyed it immensely.

This recipe works so wonderfully I think because there is a great liquid to dry ingredient ratio.  It allows the pancakes to not be super thick and dry, which I have found to be common with Gluten-free pancakes.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour (I used a homemade gluten-free mix that included xantham gum, but a whole grain flour mix or other preferred THM-friendly flour would also be just fine here)
  • a nice shake of pure stevia extract powder (this is the one I LOVE…and I need to buy more)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (I used my homemade version which worked beautifully)
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 5 egg whites (or 2/3 cup egg white liquid)

Pancakes on the griddle

Directions:

  1. Combine all dry ingredients (2 cups flour, stevia, 1 tsp salt, 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda) in large bowl.
  2. In a smaller bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients together thoroughly (I recommend putting the whole egg into the bowl first, mixing thoroughly, and then adding everything else so that the egg gets good and mixed).
  3. Make a well into the dry mixture and pour the wet mixture into it, stirring until mixed well.
  4. Heat up a pan on the stove, or prepare a griddle as desired, at medium-high heat.  Grease with spray, oil, or your preferred method.
  5. Spoon batter into desired sized pancakes (I made mine about 3 inches across because I knew the kids would enjoy them that way…plus they felt like they had WAY more food when I told them they could each have 8 pancakes, lol).
  6. Let the pancake cook well on one side, until it begins to bubble on top, or look like the sides are cooking.  Flip.
  7. Cook another few minutes to allow the bottom to cook through and then remove pancakes to repeat the process.
  8. For THM followers, this should be enjoyed with a low fat/fat free topping.  Stevia-sweetened syrups are nice, as is homemade berry compote, or a little stevia sweetened 0% fat greek yogurt.

    Could you share your homemade gluten-free mix recipe that you used for these pancakes? I would really appreciate it! They look delicious and I am anxious to try making them! Thank you!

      Sure! I got some tips from lutenfreegoddess, and have come up with one I really like for general baking requirements. I use generally her basic suggestions, but change up with whatever I have on hand, specifically for the starches. Here’s the general idea, though: 1 cup sorghum flour, 1 cup starch (potato, tapioca, arrowroot, or corn), ½ cup almond flour, and 1 tsp xanthan gum. I mix this up in larger batches (double or tripled recipes at a time) and just use as needed when needed. I hope that helps! Enjoy!

      The applesauce replaced oil in the recipe, so you could look up other oil substitutions and see if any are low fat. More pumpkin might work too! I’d love to hear what you work out =0). Also, if you have apples and a blender you could make applesauce from scratch too ? Enjoy!!

        i made these today and they were delish! i skipped the applesauce, and just used the entire 14 oz can of pumpkin. I used 4 whole eggs for more protein. I served it with a stevia (1 cup) apple cider (2 cups) spiced (1 tsp cinn, 1 tsp all spice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/4 – 1/2 tsp of glucomannan to thickened syrup! yum!
