Maple Pumpkin Butter Pancakes, 2 points+

October 7, 2012 by DanicasDaily 21 Comments

This is the perfect Fall Breakfast ~ Pumpkin Butter, Maple Syrup, Oatmeal, Coconut and Spice ~ all cooked up in these tasty, melt in your mouth Maple Pumpkin Butter Pancakes.  Why not start your day off with “dessert” for breakfast?!  The best part is it is so easy to make because you just throw everything in your Magic Bullet or Blender.  From start to finish you can whip up a restaurant style Saturday morning breakfast in under 10 minutes!

These spiced pumpkin pancakes will impress everyone you make them for whether you top them with melted whipped butter, warm maple syrup, pumpkin butter or whipped cream.

Toppings:

    Mmm… I just tried these this morning – along with a batch of homeade pumpkin butter – so good! These are definitely getting added to my list of staple breakfasts! Just a question, though – the link to the site for making the crockpot pumpkin butter has 2 cups of sugar – what would be the agave nectar equivalent? Would love to do it that way and can it for Christmas gifts this year 🙂

    Hi Chrystal,

    So glad everything worked out! I agree it’s absolutely delicious and I definitely NEED to get some pumpkin things going this year so thanks for the reminder.

    You would use 2/3 cup for every 1 cup of sugar in the recipe so 1 1/3 cup Agave Nectar.

    Good luck, I can’t wait to hear how it turns out!

      Hi Nancy,

      Here are the maple flakes I get. I have only ordered them on amazon and directly from their website before. I absolutely love them as they are completely versatile….in baking, on oatmeal, in Greek Yogurt. A little goes a long way and they are 100% pure maple goodness.

    Danica, these look delicious! I was wondering how I can go about figuring out the Nutritonal Values of meals that I make at home. Is there a formula or program that you use?

    Thanks so much or your postings. I love your site and I love how detailed you are 🙂

      Hi Kathy,

      I use caloriecount.com. I calculate all the stats under recipe analyzer. You can adjust it for ingredients, serving size, etc. Once you get used to how the sit works then it is fairly quick to use. It is free to join their website and it has a lot of great features. Two other sites I’ve used are myfitnesspal.com and sparksrecipes.com. However, caloriecount.com is my favorite especially because it analyzes how healthy the recipe is for you.

      For a quick points+ only calculation I will use Weight Watchers e-tools.

      Thanks for asking and I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I fell behind on emails this weeek.

    Danica, I’m assuming the recipe for the Pumpkin Pancakes is for 4 servings (meaning 1 pancake is 2 points+), correct? Can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks!

      Yes, they are 2 points+ per pancake or 8 points+ for all 4, excluding an points+ for your toppings.
