Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes

Servings: 8 pancakes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
These Pumpkin Pancakes are soft, they're fluffy, and they sure are delicious! You'd never know they're sugar free, low fat, high protein, high fiber, gluten free, and dairy free too.

Ingredients

  • 90g (⅔ cup) Sweet White Sorghum Flour
  • 1 tbs Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Double-Acting Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 7 packets Natural Sweetener (steviaTruvia, etc.)
  • pinch of Salt
  • ½ cup 100% Pure Pumpkin Puree (canned)
  • 4 Large Egg Whites
  • ½ cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Spray a nonstick griddle with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sorghum flour, cinnamon, baking powder, xanthan gum, sweetener, and salt.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pumpkin and egg whites. Whisk vigorously, until the egg whites are completely incorporated.  Whisk in the almond milk and vanilla.
  • Dump the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk vigorously.
  • Scoop ~¼ cup of the batter onto the griddle.  Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake and the edges appear dry.  Flip and cook the other side. Continue this until all the batter is used up.
  • Serve immediately with pure maple syrup or homemade maple syrup, your favorite nut butters, all natural whipped cream (be careful, some brands contain hydrogenated oils! I use Soyatoo Rice Whip), chocolate chips, etc.

Recipe Notes

The recipe above is my revised recipe.  I originally posted a Pumpkin Pancake recipe back in 2015 but felt like it could use some work on the flavor and texture.   Just in case you wanted to see the previous recipe and/or the changes I made, I’m providing the old recipe here:
  • 123g (½ cup) 100% Pure Pumpkin Puree, canned
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ½ cup Egg Whites
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 4 packets Natural Sweetener
  • 14g (2 tbs) Coconut Flour
  • ½ tbs Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Double-Acting Baking Powder
  • ⅛ tsp Salt
