Easy Oatmeal Pumpkin Pancakes
Ingredients you’ll need
For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Rolled Oats
- Baking Powder
- Cinnamon
- Pumpkin Spice
- Eggs
- Milk (of choice)
- Pumpkin Puree
- Light & Fit® Original Greek Vanilla
- Kellogg’s® Special K® Pumpkin Spice Crunch
Let’s talk about those last two ingredients! I loved adding in Light & Fit Original Greek Vanilla into the recipe to make the pancakes a little bit thicker. It also adds a ton of deliciously sweet flavor, has 12 grams of protein, and only has 80 calories per serving. I’m a bit obsessed!
I also added some of the yogurt on top of the pancakes and some extra flavor/texture with the Special K Pumpkin Spice Crunch cereal. It’s SOOOOO good! It’s also a good source of fiber with 150 nourishing calories per serving. Winning all around!
Tips for making Oatmeal Pumpkin Pancakes
When you’re making this recipe, there will be a few things that may seem different than a traditional pancake recipe since we’re working with rolled oats. While the recipe is definitely easy to make, these tips are here to help you out if you need them!
The rolled oat flour
- In this recipe, I used 100% rolled oat flour that I made by blending rolled oats into a fine, flour-like texture. However, you can also purchase oat flour!
- Oat flour tends to look a little gritty, but trust me: it’s still delicious! Don’t be alarmed if the batter looks a little lumpy, thick, and gritty.
- If you want a different texture, feel free to replace some of the oat flour with all-purpose or whole wheat flour!
The milk
- The type of milk that you use will also make a difference in the thickness of these pancakes. In this case I used regular 2% milk!
- Almond or oat milk are great options as well.
