I've been on such a pumpkin kick lately. I've made pumpkin custard, pumpkin cookies (don't worry- I'll be providing recipes for those, too!) and, this morning, pumpkin pancakes. I'm surprised I haven't made pumpkin soup yet. Pumpkin is so nutritious; It really ups the nutrient density of whatever you add it to.
When I decided to make the pancakes, I decided to go more Paleo with the ingredients, so no dairy in this recipe. They turned out nicely! Knowing me, I'll probably keep tweaking, but i made myself write down the proportions (for once), so here is my recipe:
Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes
2 lg eggs
2 TB coconut flour
2-3 TBs pumpkin
1 TB coconut milk
pinch of salt
pinch of something sweet (I used stevia)
spices to taste: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom, etc.
If the pancakes fall apart when you cook them, add an extra egg white to help bind them.
I cooked mine in coconut oil and I indulged and drizzled a tiny bit of grade B maple syrup. You could also top with cinnamon-coconut cream, apple butter, sauteed apples or whipped cream if you want to go more Primal;)
Enjoy!

The eggs in this recipe are just the whites?
ReplyDeleteThe eggs are whole; you can separate them and whip the whites and fold them in last for extra fluffy pancakes.
ReplyDeleteMMMMM,...these pancakes are looking just perfect for me! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI make primal pancakes all the time... but I never thought to put pumpkin in it. Good idea!
