I made these pancakes the other day and they were delicious and yet, healthy with half the calory count. Don't forget that pumpkin contains beta-carotene, which may reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer and as well protect against heart disease.
Enjoy!
Make: 4 servings (serving size: about 2 pancakes, without syrup or honey)
