Fluffy Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes

Every time I make pancakes, I always use the recipe from Nigella Lawson, my favorite. Light, fluffy and yummy
Now I have another keeper recipe. Adding pumpkin puree makes the pancakes more moist, which is good. Another plus point, it's healthier version, too with only about 130 calorie per pancake using 1/4 cup batter. Additional calorie will be when maple syrup is added - which of course can't be missed :)

Recipe is from Better Homes and Gardens with slight modification

What you need: 
(below is half from the original recipe)

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour 
1 1/2 tbsp packed brown sugar
1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
210ml 1% low fat milk
2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
90g pumpkin puree
30ml canola oil

Method:

1. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl
2. In another bowl, mix milk, eggs, pumpkin and oil
3. Stir in milk mixture into flour mixture til slightly lumpy (do not overmix)
4. Heat a nonstick pan and oil slightly. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter and cook til bubbly. Flip and cook the other side til browned
5. Serve warm with maple syrup
