Low Fat Pumpkin Pancakes from the Titanium Chef

I can't get enough pumpkin right now, it has been going in bread, cookies, muffins, oatmeal, granola and now these tasty pancakes!  There is just the right amount of pumpkin in these, they are good with a chopped apple or a handful or raisins or chopped cranberries thrown in.  Enjoy them with warm maple syrup.

Pumpkin Pancakes

1 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 T canola oil
1 cup nonfat milk
1/3 cup pure pumpkin

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg together in a medium bowl.  Combine egg, oil, milk and pumpkin in a small bowl.  Stir pumpkin mitxture into dry ingredients just until moistened, don't over stir!  There will be small lumps and that is exactly how its supposed to be.  Let batter sit for five minutes.

For each pancake, scoop 1/4 cup batter on a hot griddle or nonstick skilled sprayed with cooking spray.  Turn pancakes when bubbles appear and edges are cooked, after about 2 minutes.  Cook for 1 1/2 minutes on second side. 

Makes 8-10 pancakes.
