How to Make It

Step 1

In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, beat milk, pumpkin, egg yolks, and butter to blend. Stir into flour mixture until evenly moistened.

Step 2

In another bowl, with a mixer on high speed, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into batter just until incorporated.

Step 3

Place a nonstick griddle or a 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat (350º); when hot, coat lightly with oil and wipe dry with a paper towel. Pour batter in 1/2-cup portions onto griddle, spreading slightly with the back of a spoon, and cook until pancakes are browned on the bottom and edges begin to look dry, about 3 minutes; turn with a wide spatula and brown other sides, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Adjust heat as needed to maintain an even temperature.

Step 4

Serve pancakes as cooked, or keep warm in a single layer on baking sheets in a 200º oven up to 15 minutes.

I halved the recipe as my time was limited but I will make these again. Even with whole-grain flour the batter was just the right consistency, and the pancakes cooked up light and fluffy and nicely pumpkin-y, if a bit moist on the inside. I like the idea of adding chocolate chips but this time I left them plain and we ate them with butter and real maple syrup.

These were amazing: fluffy, light, and yummy!!! I was a little hesitant and unsure about the TABLEspoon of both cinnamon and baking powder, but sure enough, it worked! I tried three times to upload a photo, but to no avail. Not that my photo was great, but I thought it better than the default photo of a fork and knife.

Delicious! I did add semi-sweet chocolate chips to part of the batch and they were great either way. We will be making these often.

These flapjacks earned five stars from my husband and 10-year-old daughter. I used half whole wheat flour and the texture was great. They were very filling and presented well. I would serve these to guests.
