Combine 1 cup all purpose flour, 2 TBSP. brown sugar, 2 tsp. baking powder, and 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (I used at least 1 1/2 tsps). Combine 1 cup milk, 1 cup pumpkin (I used a heaping cup), and 2 egg yolks - add to to dry ingredients and mix. (Note: If I remember correctly I think I added a couple TBSP oil as well.) In a separate bowl and using an electric mixer at high speed, beat 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form (think meringue) - gently fold into pumpkin mixture. Using 1/3 cup of batter at a time, cook on griddle, turning when tops are bubbling and edges are done. Serve with maple syrup.
I am a fan of all things pumpkin, and these were delicious. I think the reason I liked them even more than other recipes I've tried is that they were extremely light and fluffy, probably because of the beaten egg whites. If you are also a fan of pumpkin and all things autumn, this just may be the seasonal breakfast for you! Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
