Pumpkin Pancakes

Pumpkin Pancakes

Recently, I found myself with a bit of pumpkin left in the fridge. It wasn't enough for a pie, so instead of wasting it, I whipped up these pumpkin pancakes. In just 30 minutes, I had a tasty and healthy dessert ready, complete with photos to share with you.

The addition of pumpkin gives the pancakes a vibrant orange hue and soft texture, while the dried fruits like cranberries and cherries (or raisins and dried apricots if preferred) add a unique flavor compared to regular pancakes.

I suggest you try this recipe during pumpkin season, as it’s quick, simple, and uses readily available ingredients.

Preheat a non-stick pan and lightly grease it with oil. To maintain a healthier dish, try to use minimal oil. 

Spoon a small amount of batter onto the pan, making 3-4 smaller pancakes or larger ones, if preferred.

Cook them on medium to low heat until air bubbles form and the tops are set.
