Cinnamon Pumpkin Pancakes

Woke up this morning craving some home made pancakes. I made these Cinnamon Pumpkin Pancakes and they are delicious.  If you like pumpkin like I do, you are really going to enjoy these.

The Apple Cider Syrup makes these pancakes even better and the pumpkin flavor comes through with a nice cinnamon taste. The apple cider syrup and the pumpkin pancakes are just an amazing combination.  I highly recommend this recipe.  You are going to be in love!

These pancakes are a great addition to my menu for Christmas morning.  I like a medium size pancake, but you can make them even smaller.  Enjoy!!

Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour

1 tbsp sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup milk

1/2 cup canned pumpkin

2 eggs, separated and divided

2 tbsp oil

In a large mixing bowl combine, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.  In a separate bowl, blend together milk, pumpkin, beaten egg yolks and oil.  Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture all at once, stirring until just blended.  Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into pancake batter.  Spoon 1/4 cup batter onto a griddle sprayed with non-stick vegetable spray.  Cook until bubbles begin to form around edges turn and cook until second side is golden. Serve with Apple Cider Syrup.
