Pumpkin Season is already here, so try this yummy and healthy breakfast for the whole family!!!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Makes 4 to 5 Servings (about 14 pancakes)


Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/3 cups 1% lowfat milk
1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 teaspoons canola oil

Directions

Whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, flaxseed, sugar, chocolate chips, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin, and vanilla in a separate bowl until well blended. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened.
Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Pour the batter onto the hot skillet using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, forming 4-inch pancakes. Cook until bubbles begin to appear on the surface of the pancakes and the bottoms turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining oil and batter.
