Whole wheat buttermilk pancakes made with white whole wheat flour, pumpkin puree, pure maple syrup, pumpkin spice and pecans – a perfect lazy Sunday morning breakfast.
I’m not a big breakfast person, usually a green smoothie[1], a simple hard boiled egg or some overnight oats in a jar [2]is all I need to keep me fueled until lunch. But on Sundays, we wake up a little later and have more time to make a more extravagant breakfast. My kids love pancakes so I often treat them to Sunday pancakes. Now that pumpkin season is here, I’ve been making these nutty pumpkin muffins – they are so good no one knows I use whole wheat flour in place of white flour. Happy Sunday!
