Ingredients used for making fluffy whole wheat pancakes

Making this pumpkin pancakes is super easy and takes just 15 minutes if you have all the ingredients on hand. It makes a thick batter so don’t be alarmed. Ingredients used are:

Pumpkin Puree: I usually make it at home. I boil the pumpkins for 20-25 mins. drain the water and make a smooth puree. You can use store bought pumpkin puree as well.

Cardamom powder: Freshly ground cardamom seeds.

Whole Wheat flour: Use any good quality store bought whole wheat flour.

Eggs: I used large free range eggs.

Yogurt: I used natural yogurt. Greek yogurt works well too.

Milk: I used whole milk. But feel free to use anything you desire.

Baking powder, Baking soda, vanilla essence, salt and a little sugar (You can totally skip the sugar).

My husband and myself both like something crunchy on our pancakes, so I decided to top our pancakes up with jaggery candied walnuts. They are very easy to make and so addictive. All you need is jaggery and walnuts. Melt the jaggery and add walnuts in it. Tadaaa!! done.

Few pointer to remember while making Fluffy Whole wheat pancakes.

DO not make the batter thin. Thin batter is will not yield you fluffy pancakes.

DO not over mix the batter. Mix only till the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients are combined.

Temperature at which these pancakes are cooked plays a very important role too. These pumpkin pancakes should be cooked on medium temperature, this gives the pancakes time to rise.
