I am always open to healthy remixes of carb-y sweet treats. What gets me though is when I have to inve$t in a whole bottle of flax seed oil or kookaburra seeds (that last one is made up) to make it. (And then usually never use the rest of it ever again.) You will find these p-cakes are a lightened up version of cinnamon rolls meets pancakes and the ingredients are staples you won’t mind buying. Or may already have around. I am having fun continuing to learn about photography for my blog.
Photographing pancakes is one of my favorite food photography subjects!
HEALTHY CINNAMON ROLL PANCAKES
Serves 2
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup bran cereal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Dash of cinnamon
1 cup buttermilk
2 egg whites
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
Walnuts
Place bran cereal into a plastic bag and crush into very small pieces.
Whisk together flour, bran cereal, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, buttermilk, and egg whites.
Pour 1/4 cup pancake batter onto a skillet over medium heat. Flip when bubbly, until browned on both sides. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine pumpkin, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Transfer pumpkin mixture into a plastic bag. Snip the corner of the bag and spread in a swirl on top of pancake stack.
