Pumpkin Pancakes

3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground allspice

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vinegar

1.In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt, stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.

2.Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

Oatmeal Pancakes

2 eggs
2.25 C buttermilk
1/4 C oil
1 C old fashioned oats
1 C whole wheat flour
1/4 C wheat germ
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2-1 tsp cinnamon (I usually use 1 tsp)
1 Tbs honey

Beat together first 3 ingredients. Add remaining ingredients and stir until just well blended. Fry on a hot griddle.

Convert recipe for waffles by using 1/2 cup of oil (as opposed to the 1/4 C)

Makes 20 four inch pancakes (1/4 C batter per pancake), generally serves 3-4 people if it's there isn't much additional food.

note: I find that the batter makes better pancakes if it's allowed to sit for a few min. before cooking- that gives the oats some time to absorb some of the liquid. Otherwise, the batter is too thin. If you're in a rush, you can get away with adding a little more flour.
