Pumpkin Pancakes with Cinnamon Syrup

from For the Love of Cooking (click here to see the official recipe with pictures)

Serves 4 @ 308 calories, 10 g fat, 3 g fiber (pancakes only)

Cinnamon Syrup:
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup water
Stir all the dry ingredients together in a small saucepan. Add the water and vanilla and stir occasionally until boiling. Let it boil for a few minutes while stirring until it thickens. Remove from heat and set aside until needed.

Pancakes:
  • 2 cups of Bisquick pancake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp clove
Combine all dry ingredients until well blended. Add the milk and eggs into dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly (there should be some lumps). Heat a bit of butter in a skillet or griddle, over medium heat. Once hot, add a ladle full of pancake batter to the pan and cook for a few minutes; once you see bubbles forming on top of the pancakes, flip. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until done. Serve with fresh hot cinnamon syrup.

My Review: These were delicious, of course! I'm all about pumpkin anything so of course pumpkin pancakes are a big hit. The syrup was yummy too - sweet and spicy!

Blueberry Cornmeal Pancakes

from Closet Cooking

Click here for recipe with photos!

(makes 4 large pancakes) I got 5 servings out of this - 2 med pancakes per serving
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup lowfat buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup blueberries
Mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Mix the buttermilk, eggs and butter in another bowl. Mix the wet and dry ingredients making sure to not over mix. Mix in the blue berries. Heat a pan and melt a touch of butter in it. Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan and heat until the surface starts to bubble and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

REVIEW: Yum! These were tasty AND filling. I loved the cornmeal flavor.
