Tis the season for pumpkin, and that means pumpkin pancakes in my house! This is a quick and easy to digest nutrient dense breakfast idea.
Makes 1 large pancake.
Pumpkin Pancakes:
- 2 pastured eggs
- 1 tb butter
- 1 tb gelatin collagen hydrolysate (like this)
- 1 tb canned or fresh pumpkin
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla (like this)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 tb honey, maple or simple syrup
- ¼ cup chocolate chips (like this)
Process:
- In a blender mix 2 eggs.
- Add salt, vanilla, gelatin, pumpkin, pumpkin spice and 1 tb honey or simple syrup.
- In a pan (I use my stainless fry pan) melt 1 tb butter. When butter melts, pour into egg mixture and blend until combined. Let some butter remain in the pan to lubricate it and keep pancake from sticking.
- Pour the mixture into your buttered pan on medium-low heat and wait patiently until the pancake is cooked enough to easily flip. Then flip, and cook until done.
- Melt chocolate chips and spread over the surface of the pancake.
- Roll it up and top with any other desired toppings.
- Try these pumpkin pancakes out on your kiddos! A great way to get more eggs into their diet!

This recipe sounds delicious! I am new to gelatin and I just bought the red can of Great Lakes. I'm not sure what the difference is. Can I use that in this recipe?

No, they can’t be used interchangeably. Gelatin is hard to digest, especially when not dissolved in hot fluid.

CRAZY decadent! Wow, so delicious. I wouldn't be able to stop at one!

Is there something I could instead of the gelatin or could I just leave it out I don't have any.

So stinking good!! Mine puffs up like a dutch baby pancake, I bet squeezing some lemon juice on it and lightly dusting with powdered sugar would be awesome...and a little sauteed fruit too!
Great recipe, thanks so much!!

YAY! Lemon and powdered sugar sound awesome!

Wow! These were amazing! So decadent and rich, and of course delicious! Mine was thicker than yours, more like a traditional pancake and less like a crepe, probably because my pan size was different. It was so fluffy and light. When I was little my mom used to slather Nutella on a tortilla, roll it up, and microwave it. Oh I loved those so much, but knowing what I do now about nutrition I thought I would never be able to have them again. What was my surprise to find that these tasted almost identical, expect better! The pumpkin was the perfect touch. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
