The banana in the batter makes these pumpkin pancakes sweet and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe banana (1/2 cup) (mashed)
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk (any)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (or cinnamon)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, place the ripe banana and mash it down with a fork. Add the canned pumpkin and egg, whisk the egg with the fork, and combine the three ingredients. Pour the milk, vanilla, and melted butter into the bowl, and combine.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and pumpkin spice. You want to mix the dry ingredients before adding them to the wet to distribute the baking powder evenly.

  3. 3

    Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients in the bigger bowl, and with a whisk, combine until there are no visible lumps.

  4. 4

    Heat a large non-stick pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, grease it with butter or oil. Immediately pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook the first side for about 2 minutes until the edges are defined and bubbles begin to appear. Flip and cook the other side for an additional minute.
