  20. Hi Gina, I am sure loving the pumpkin butter! I was wondering if you use a recipe software to organize and manage your recipes? If so, can you recommend which product you use?

  22. These are amazing. I cannot wait until our next small group at our house so I can serve these. I know they will be a hit. This time of year is great because I feel as if I can put pumpkin in everything. Just the other day I made a Pumpkin Green Monster smoothie. It was amazing. http://ashandlewplus2.com/2010/09/27/pumpkin-green-monster/ Have a great day Ashlee

  24. After canning all day it was definitely a "breakfast for dinner" type of night. I made a double batch of these for the family and they were a huge hit! I used some freshly ground white wheat flour and I did sprinkle some mini chocolate chips in my son's. YUM! We ate ours with maple syrup. Thank you for sharing a FANTASTIC recipe.

  35. These were soooooo good! My 25 yr old son, a health nut, loved them and I'm a lifetime WW fan, of course I loved them! I put some sugar free syrup on top last night for dinner!!! Yummy!!!

    These would go well with your Pumpkin Latte!

    Love your site!

  36. oh god pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin <3 <3

    At the risk of being an overzealous pumpkin dork, I knpw you did a light no bake cheesecake at some point - would you have any suggestions (or perhaps a recipe?) for making a pumpkin cheesecake? It's my _utter favorite_ to the point of frenzy.

    ReplyDelete
  37. You're so sweet Susan! I'm glad you all enjoyed this!

    Mouse, I have a pumpkin cheesecakes recipe, here's the url http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/09/pumpkin-spice-no-bake-cheesecake.html

  40. For the gal looking for a good recipe organizer/ database...I LOVE Shop N' Cook!!! You can copy and paste your recipes into it and then drag and drop what you want to make that week onto a calender and with the click of your mouse it will generate your shopping list(even into grochery store sections). You can also tag your recipes (I tag mine by weight watcher points, meal type, and what's in it for ex. CHicken, or Vegitarian)to make it easy to sort through recipes. I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Made this for breakfast, very good and easy to make. I didn't use pumpkin butter, I used low cal syrup.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hi! I was wondering how many points this is with out the pumpkin butter topping on the new system?
    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  43. THESE WERE AMAZING! I made 1/4 this recipe for myself for breakfast this morning (for the egg whites, I used 1.5 tbsp, which is 3/4 of an egg white. I usually have cartons of egg whites in the fridge. For sugar, I just used 1 tsp). I am definitely making pumpkin butter this week, but I just had apple butter on top. I also used my homemade pumpkin puree in the batter.

    I love fall so much, so these were perfect for me. Will definitely be making these again! Maybe even for breakfast for thanksgiving guests.

    Thanks for the recipe!

  44. I've made these twice, and I love them. I actually had them for dinner the second time. I love all of your pumpkin recipes, they are just the absolute best.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Just made these for Sunday morning "kick-off" breakfast. Everyone LOVED them. But the best part? No one had a clue they were low-fat!! I will be making this recipe again and again. Thank you!!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I just made these for breakfast and they were delicious! Thanks for posting!

  47. We LOVE your recipes! They make up the second biggest part of my repertoire (my own recipes I make the most often, but yours are a close second!) and I'm so grateful to your tips and tricks for lightening up my faves and also helping me encourage my family to try new, healthy foods!

    These pumpkin pancakes were AWESOME. I even completely forgot to put in the sugar, but served them with a bit of pure maple syrup and it more than made up for it. Tasty, tasty, tasty!

  48. "Combine milk, egg whites and pumpkin butter or canned pumpkin in a bowl and mix until smooth."

    I just wanted to make sure that I should also combine the 2 tsp of oil and vanilla into this step? Or does the oil go the pan?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Gina, I noticed that you have improved your whole wheat pancakes. Would the changes you made to that recipe (such as omitting the oil and using whole eggs) apply to this recipe, as well?

    ReplyDelete
  50. This one worked better as is because of the added pumpkin. But, you could try!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I made these last weekend. Once they cooled I put them in the freezer for easy work-week lunches. I finally tried one this morning. I reheated them in our office toasted on the frozen setting. They reheated nicely, but more importantly, they taste amazing!

    I topped mine with maple syrup (the real deal) instead of pumpkin butter. I think they would also be good topped with the cranberry pear sauce posted recently.

    Thanks for another wonderful recipe, Gina!

  52. And by lunches I meant breakfasts...oy...too early! :)

  53. I just made these for my girls (2 & 4) and they LOVED them!! So did I! Thanks!

  54. Hi I have some leftover pumpkin in my fridge that desperately needs to be used. I want to make these tomorrow morning, but I don't have any whole wheat flour. I only have white all purpose flour. Can I substitute it for the same amount of wheat flour the recipe calls for?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Yes, white flour would work fine. Same amount.

    ReplyDelete
  56. You are officially a fluffy pancake goddess. I made these this morning after loving your original version. I posted the link on my blog :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. What would the points value be if you omitted the butter?

    ReplyDelete
  58. how many points for just the pancakes, i dont want to use the pumpkin butter

    Hi

    I was looking for a reply to Annie's question about the oil and vanilla not being in the instructions but should they be added with the wet ingredients. I did as I wanted to make them now and they were awesome, especially with the pumpkin butter. Thanks for another great recipe but still would like to know if the oil and vanilla belong in this recipe.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I used bob's red mill gluten free flour,the batter for some reason was super wet.Not sure what I did but they came out flat.Tasty But I am not sure what I did wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Oh my goodness, these were sooo good! Fixed them tonight for dinner and even the Mr. gobbled them up. I honestly felt like I was cheating a little because they were so good. I didn't have pumpkin pie spice so I just used a 1/4 tsp of both nutmeg and ground ginger and they still came out wonderful. Thanks for another great one Gina!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I made these this morning with Mom and they were incredibly good! We ate them with fat free cool whip on top instead of the pumpkin butter (we only used it to make the pancake), with pumpkin pie spice on the cool whip and I ate mine with Aunt Jemima Butter Lite syrup! We have some leftover batter and we're gonna eat them again tomorrow!! :D

    ReplyDelete
  63. Oh, and we mixed all-purpose flour with about two tbsp of wheat germ because we couldn't find whole wheat flour. :)
