Pumpkin Pancakes
A terrific pancake alternative, this recipe provides loads of vitamin A and a higher protein pancake than traditional flap jacks. Protein is a very important nutrient for pregnant women, and experts report that adding protein to meals and snacks can help with pregnancy related nausea or “morning sickness.” Don’t get deterred by slightly higher fat content. Because of the flaxseed meal, these are also loaded with omega 3 fatty-acids, which are unsaturated fats and actually cardio-protective (good for your heart).
Ingredients
1 large egg
½ cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup flaxseed meal
1 Tbs canola oil
½ tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbs non-fat sour cream or non-fat ricotta blended
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ginger
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
Directions:
In a medium bowl, lightly beat the egg. Blend in pumpkin, oil, vanilla and sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift together all dry ingredients. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Mix well. On a lightly sprayed non-stick pan, dollop out about 1/3 cup of batter to make each pancake. Be sure to make the pancakes a little smaller than usual since they are fragile (no flour to hold them together).Serve with apple sauce, stewed fruit, or fresh fruit.
