Yields: Makes about 8 pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 packs Splenda
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/16 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/16 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 6 TBS pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 1 TBS butter, melted

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together. Add the pumpkin, buttermilk and egg and whisk until mixed, but still lumpy. Add the melted butter and then whisk until almost smooth, but don’t over mix.
  2. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes while your skillet or griddle heats to medium. This resting period will make your pancakes puff and be light and fluffy.
  3. Pour about a 1/4 cup of batter onto a greased (or coated with cooking spray) griddle. Flip when bubbles begin to form and cook until desired doneness.
