Pumpkin Pancakes

I wasn't really in the mood to cook a big meal last night so we had pumpkin pancakes. I had found some pumpkin in the freezer and was trying to figure out what to make with it. So I found this recipe here. It was yummy for something different. Don't think we'll have these every time we want pancakes but they were good and we all enjoyed them. Nathan suggested putting some chocolate chips in them and that sounds like a great idea. I did read some reviews on them and made some modifications to the recipe.

So, here's the recipe:

2 c. all purpose flour (I used 1 c. whole wheat flour.)

3 T. brown sugar (I used unrefined sugar.)

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. allspice (I don't have any so I just added more cinnamon and some cloves.)

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ginger

1/2 tsp. salt (I used sea salt.)

1 1/2 c. milk (I used soymilk.)

1 c. pumpkin puree

1 egg

2 T. vegetable oil

2 T. vinegar

Mix milk, pumpkin, egg, oil, and vinegar in blender and blend until smooth. Mix dry ingredients and pour milk mixture in. Combine just until moistened. I added a little extra milk. Some of the reviews said they were thick and to add a little milk and then spread them out in the pan with a spoon so you don't take away from the flavor. I also let the batter sit for 5 minutes before starting to cook them so the soda would activate. Cook in a skillet until brown on both sides.
