Amp up store bought pancake mix. Semi Custom Recipe that I love to make in 10 minutes. These are the best Pancakes I've ever had, Pumpkin or Plain! Top with Greek Yogurt, flax seeds, dried non sweetened coconut...What I love about them:  I love the texture, the healthy almonds and dried fruit, too! Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • Trader Joes Pumpkin Pancake Mix
  • Pureed cooked pumpkin
  • Organic Apple Sauce
  • Maple Syrup or Agave Nectar
  • Dried Orange Cranberries
  • Steel Cut or Traditional Oats
  • Flax Seeds
  • Plain Greek Yogurt
  • Cinnamon
  • Nutmeg

Directions:

Prepare Pumpkin Pancake Mix according to instructions BUT replace Oil with Apple Sauce in equal amounts and also add:
