Is this really the last WIAW of November? What the heck?! Where in the world has this year gone…Don’t get me wrong, I am loving decorating for Christmas. I’m just a little amazed that 2012 is almost over and 2013 is upon us.
I’ve got a recipe to share with you guys, so please excuse the random eats thrown your way!
pumpkin biscotti & coffee, ww toast with sunflower seed butter & jam plus a naner, shredded wheat with bloobs & almond milk
Amy’s vegetable soup, egg salad on wheat with carrots & hummus & grapes, homemade minestrone with feta & bread rounds
Pure bar & watermelon
Maybe it’s the fact that Thanksgiving just passed or maybe it’s the colder weather, but I have really been craving holiday flavors. Pumpkin, gingerbread, apple and peppermint are on the top of the list. So, I decided to quench one those cravings in the form of pancakes!
Pumpkin Walnut Pancakes
The perfect pancake for a brisk fall morning.
Ingredients:
-
1 C whole wheat pastry flour
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 T cinnamon
-
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
-
1 egg
-
1 C almond milk
-
1/4 C canned pumpkin
-
1 T maple syrup or honey
-
1/4 C crushed walnuts
Mix together dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together wet ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and slowly incorporate the walnuts. Cook in a well greased pan. Makes 8-10 pancakes.
I topped my pancakes with some maple syrup and more walnuts for one seriously delicious plate of breakfast!
By the way, these cakes are totally Ninja approved. I was planning on saving the leftovers for some future breakfasts, but Ninja sat down at the table, grabbed the remaining 6 pancakes, doused them in syrup, and gobbled them down. I sat there dumbfounded. He only looked at me once and muttered through a stuffed mouth, “These are pretty good.” He never ceases to amaze me!

DANG those pancakes are a foodgasm waiting to occur haha! And for some reason, that watermelon looks extra juicy….it’s calling my name
Those pancakes look awesome! I have some pumpkin to use up, so I’ll definitely be trying them. Walnuts are my favorite, so it sounds like a great combination to me! All your eats look great, too. I love the Pure bars!
I wish I was eating Turkey Day leftovers! But seeing as ours was over a month ago, I think I’d be experiencing some serious stomach woes if I was
I am, however, completely open to leftover donations 
And I’ve never actually tried adding nuts to my pancakes… fruit is usually about as crazy as I’ll go.
Those pancakes look to die for!!! I’ve never thought about adding nuts to my pancakes! You are just a genius in the kitchen
Mmmm pumpkin pancakes are always so delicious! yours look so thick and fluffy too
My leftovers disappeared pretty darn fast ;D Mmm, shredded wheat! I’m a complete dork and that is my favorite cereal–especially on greek yogurt and with lots of toppings!
Yum!! Anything pancakes gets an immediate seal of approval from me
Oh wow, so I haven’t had watermelon since the summer and your picture of it looks so yummy! Also, your pancakes look delicious!
Beautiful stack of pancakes! I haven’t made pancakes in so long, and I have no idea why! Maybe it’s because I haven’t had the time on a Saturday morning like I used to. This needs to change!
