Healthy cooking tip . . .

Pancakes freeze beautifully and reheat easily in your microwave or toaster. When I was raising kids, I’d make a whole pile of pancakes on Sunday, let them cool, then freeze them between sheets of wax for a nutritious weekday breakfast.

Happy cooking!

Mmm, pumpkin and almond milk, in pancakes! Sign me up. :) Sounds wholesome and filling and perfect for Fall.

Hi Kiri – I often use almond milk these days. We have family members who have dairy intolerances. I have to say I really like it. Enjoy your week. :)

These pumpkin oat pancakes look wonderful! Perfect combination of ingredients that bring us back to Autumn (since we were dragged into Winter first). Thanks for sharing, looks yummy! (buzzed it) =]

I don’t think that you can ever have too much pumpkin! I just finished up my last can of Libby’s this week and I’m already itching to get to the grocery store to pick up more. I’m a big fan of pumpkin oatmeal, so I’m sure that I’d be a big fan of pumpkin oat pancakes!

I have two sugar pumpkins waiting for me to make my own pumpkin puree. I did this once last year in the crockpot and loved the flavor. I must admit, canned is much easier, but this is fun once a year.

I haven’t had any pumpkin at all this year so this will be a treat, Kristi. These look so light and if it’s got oats in it, it’s good for us, right?

Got to get that nutrition in where we can right? Pumpkin and oats are a great place to start. I have two sugar pumpkins on the counter waiting for me to get out the slow cooker to cook them. Someone taught me the slow cooker method last year and I love it!

Ha! Thanks for catching that. It should say makes 6 – 8 pancakes. I’ll fix that asap. Thanks for visiting. :)

I can never be on pumpkin overload! These pancakes sound awesome, and I appriciate that they have oats in them for extra goodness :) !

krimkus November 1, 2011 at 7:11 pm

They are a little denser than a typical pancake thanks to the oats and pumpkin, but the flavor had everyone happy and they were still light enough to qualify as a pancake.

I’m just now getting into the pumpkin thing myself. I don’t usually think of it for breakfast though…

Delicious! I’d have to skip the cinnamon because of allergies, but I suspect the maple syrup on them would be just right…

I know 100% maple syrup is expensive, especially if you’re feeding a family, but I sure like it as a treat. No sugar – just 100% syrup.

I’m not the best pancake maker. I often burn them, so I stick with waffles, but I decided to give these a try. The oats and pumpkin make them a bit denser, but they are still very pancake like.

My family will surely be delighted with this recipe. Fortunately, we still have a huge craving for pumpkins. I love the photos and your pancakes just looks delicious. Thank you for this amazing recipe.

Thank you Laura. Fortunately we have lots of pumpkin available, but I understand there a folks who don’t. Have a good weekend!

Hey Kristi,

Lovely pancakes!! I bought two more sugar pumpkins yesterday, can’t get enough pumpkin. Tried the steaming method last month, made it really easy to prepare. Hubby and I were just talking about pancakes the other day… Would love to try these on Sunday. Do you think white wheat flour would work instead of the pastry flour?

Reply

krimkus November 5, 2011 at 11:14 am

I’m sure you could use white flour. They’d probably been even fluffier. Have a good weekend!

Irena November 5, 2011 at 9:14 am

Funny, I like your pumpkin slogan, yes we are attacked by pumpkins…..but your pancakes looks delicious, as always:)

Love your recipe and plan to use boiled, mashed sweet potatoes to replace the pumpkin puree. Almond milk is a great addition too. As we are not milk drinkers in my home almond and rice milk are standard staples here. Thanks for sharing!
