Hi everyone! I’m Jen from Yummy Healthy Easy. I’m married to a hunky husband and am the mom of four crazy boys, who are always hungry. 🙂 Since I’m a busy mom, I like to make and blog about meals that are quick, easy and (mostly) healthy with the occasional treat thrown in. I can’t even tell you how excited I am to be here today! I love The Recipe Critic and am always inspired by Alyssa’s recipes and photography. Thanks for having me!
So, like I said, four boys. They eat me out of house and home (as my mom likes to say). But they are my built-in taste-testers, which I guess is a good thing, right? Who else would eat all the stuff I make?!
Anyway, my oldest, who’s a big bad 6th grader now, loves breakfasts. Pancakes are his ultimate favorite thing in the whole entire world. If I announce that it’s breakfast for dinner, he seriously does a happy dance. I usually end up making a big breakfast a couple times a week, mostly for him. These pancakes are one of his favorites and a fall breakfast staple in our house.
Put simply, they are amazing. They’re fluffy, filling and delicious. The pumpkin makes them moist but isn’t overwhelming. It’s just the perfect amount of pumpkin. Of course the fact that these are “skinny” means you can go right ahead and slather them with butter and syrup! 😉 I hope you give these pancakes a try and then come visit me over at Yummy Healthy Easy for some more delicious recipes
. See ya soon!

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flours, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, salt, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, milk, oil, and pumpkin.
Add the pumpkin mixture to the flour mixture and mix until just combined. If the batter seems too thick, add a little milk to thin it out to the desired consistency.
Heat a griddle or skillet on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour the batter onto the heated griddle or skillet using a 1/4 cup measuring cup.
Flip the pancake when bubbles appear at the top. Serve with buttermilk syrup and enjoy!
