Quick skinny pumpkin pancakes with pumpkin puree and fall spiceโ€”soft, golden, and satisfying without the heaviness.
Hi everyone! Iโ€™m Jen from Yummy Healthy Easy. Iโ€™m married to a hunky husband and am the mom of four crazy boys, who are always hungry. ๐Ÿ™‚ Since Iโ€™m a busy mom, I like to make and blog about meals that are quick, easy and (mostly) healthy with the occasional treat thrown in. I canโ€™t even tell you how excited I am to be here today! I love The Recipe Critic and am always inspired by Alyssaโ€™s recipes and photography. Thanks for having me!

So, like I said, four boys. They eat me out of house and home (as my mom likes to say). But they are my built-in taste-testers, which I guess is a good thing, right? Who else would eat all the stuff I make?!

Anyway, my oldest, whoโ€™s a big bad 6th grader now, loves breakfasts. Pancakes are his ultimate favorite thing in the whole entire world. If I announce that itโ€™s breakfast for dinner, he seriously does a happy dance. I usually end up making a big breakfast a couple times a week, mostly for him.ย These pancakes are one of his favorites and a fall breakfast staple in our house.

Put simply, they are amazing. Theyโ€™re fluffy, filling and delicious. The pumpkin makes them moist but isnโ€™t overwhelming. Itโ€™s just the perfect amount of pumpkin. Of course the fact that these are โ€œskinnyโ€ means you can go right ahead and slather them with butter and syrup! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I hope you give these pancakes a try and then come visit me over atย Yummy Healthy Easyย for some more delicious recipes. See ya soon!

    1. I have found the best way to get nutritional info on all of the recipes is through MyFitnessPal.com. You just type in the recipe and it tells you! Skinnytaste.com is also a great resource for healthy and delicious meals and provides nutritional info. Hope this helps! XOXO

  2. Can we have the calorie count on this recipe pls? I am just trying to collect dessert recipes for my family that are under 250 calories. I am not sure if it is better to eat this or something like Carrot Muffins. THANK YOU

    1. Iโ€™ve personally never used fresh pumpkin in this recipe, but you should be able to use fresh pumpkin as long as itโ€™s pureed and still only 1/2 cup! Thanks for the question!

    1. Hi Paula! It makes about 16 pancakes but it really depends on how much milk you add to thin out the batter. Iโ€™ll usually add a little more than the 1-1/2 cups of milk and so I can end up with anywhere from 16 to 20 pancakes. Thanks for the question! I hope you enjoy them!
