Weight Watchers Comfort Classics
Ingredients:
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (I made my own - see recipe below)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup low fat buttermilk (I used 1 cup fat free milk with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice - let it sit 5 minutes and then subtract 2/3 cup from that. )
1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
4 teaspoons light butter, melted
1 large egg
4 tablespoons sugar free maple syrup
Directions:
Whisk together the all purpose and whole wheat flours, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk the buttermilk mixture, stirring just until blended.
Spray a large nonstick skillet or griddle with nonstick spray and set over medium heat. When a drop of water sizzles on it, por the batter onto the skillet by scant 1/4 cupfuls. Cook just until bubbles begin to appear at the edges of the pancakes, 2 - 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden, 2 - 3 minutes longer. Repeat with the remaining batter, making a total of 8 pancakes. Serve with the maple syrup.
Servings: 4 (2 pancakes with 1 tablespoon maple syrup) Points: 3
