Recipe For Pumpkin Pancakes With Chocolate Chips

Ingredients

• 600 grams of boiled pumpkin without peel (which you will later turn into a puree).
• 3 medium eggs.
• 1/2 liter of skim milk.
• Salt: 1 pinch.
• 250 grams of white wheat flour or any other that you prefer.

• 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
• 50 grams of wheat bran.
• 2 tablespoons of white or muscabo sugar.
• Sunflower oil: 2 tablespoons.
• 5 drops of vanilla essence.
• 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
• 1 handful of split walnuts.
• Grated coconut, cinnamon or another ingredient to decorate.

Step by Step

• First, mix the flour together with the baking powder, wheat bran, sugar and salt in a bowl. Save this container for when it’s time to use it.
• On the other hand, in a bowl or in a processor it begins to form the pumpkin puree. To do this, make sure that it is soft. If you do it manually you can use a potato masher or a fork.
• Once you have finished the previous step, with a hand mixer add the eggs one by one and integrate completely.
• After this, little by little add the milk, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and the vanilla essence. At this point the preparation will have a consistency between liquid and pasty.

• Next, add the dry ingredients that you reserved at the beginning. Make it slow so that no lumps form, or avoid this problem by using a sieve.
• Lastly, add the chocolate chips and stir the mixture.
• Now it is time to cook. Turn your stove to low heat and heat a nonstick pancake pan. In this step you must use the remaining half tablespoon of oil ; this will prevent the pancakes from sticking.
• Ladle the mixture so that all the pancakes are the same thickness and size and pour it into the pan.
• Cook for about 3 minutes before turning so it cooks on the other side as well.
• Finally, serve on a plate one on top of the other and decorate with the split walnuts. You can also add more chocolate chips, cinnamon, grated coconut, or some other toppings that you like.
