Delicious Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering your ingredients and preheating a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. This will ensure your pancakes cook evenly and get that lovely golden brown color. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat pastry flour, multigrain hot cereal, and baking powder. Give it a good whisk to blend everything together. In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly. Then, add in the milk, pureed pumpkin, plain yogurt, vanilla extract, white sugar, and salt. Mix these wet ingredients until they are well combined and smooth. Now, it’s time to bring the two mixtures together! Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Finally, fold in the finely chopped pecans for that delightful crunch. Once your batter is ready, it’s time to cook! Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Watch as bubbles start to form on the surface; this is a sign that they’re ready to flip. When the edges look dry and a bubble popped near the edge holds its shape, it’s time to turn them over. Cook until the other side is golden brown, then transfer the pancakes to a plate. Keep them warm while you repeat with the remaining batter. If you’re making a larger batch, you can keep the pancakes warm in a single layer on a cooling rack positioned over a baking sheet in a 300°F oven. Serve these delicious pumpkin pecan pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt, and enjoy a cozy breakfast that’s sure to please!
