Ingredients (serves 8)

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

• 1-1/2 cups fat-free milk

• 1 cup canned pumpkin

• 1/2 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed

• 2 tablespoons cooking oil

• Nonstick cooking spray

• 1 recipe Orange Syrup (I have found and attached one below)

• 1 orange, peeled and sectioned (optional)

  Directions

In a medium bowl stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Make a well in the center of flour mixture.

In another medium bowl combine the milk, pumpkin, egg product, and oil. Add the milk mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).

Lightly coat a nonstick griddle or heavy skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle or skillet. Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes or until pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry. Turn pancakes; cook about 2 minutes more or until golden brown. Serve warm with Orange Syrup and, if desired, orange sections. Makes 8 servings.

Orange Syrup: In a small saucepan stir together 1 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Serve warm. Makes about 1 cup.
