Are Pumpkin Pancakes Healthy?
I think so. Be sure to use natural or organic ingredients. Making the pancakes homemade is the healthiest way to consume pancakes. This recipe has fresh ingredients and no sugar added. There are some store bought pancake mixes that are healthier for you (see the list below).
Step by Step Directions for Healthy Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes
Step 1: Add all the ingredients to a blender. Make sure to add the liquids first and the dry ingredients at the end.
Step 2: Blend until completely smooth. Use a spatula to remove all dry ingredients that are attached to the walls of the blender vase
Step 3: Place a saucepan over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter.
After 2 minutes the butter is melted, and it is time to make the pancakes. Add about 1/3 cup of the batter to the saucepan for each pancake, or you can make your own size if you prefer.
If the batter is thick and doesn’t spread on the pan, you can use a spoon or a spatula to spread out the batter a bit. The batter gets thicker as it sits, so it is better to cook the pancakes right after blending. But if your batter gets thicker, you can add extra almond milk, around 1 tbsp and mix with a spatula to check the consistency before adding more milk if necessary.
Step 4: Cook for 3 minutes until the bubble on the top remain, and flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown.
