Pancakes are great for little kids for many reasons – they’re portable in a hurry (without syrup, of course), they’re great for practicing fork skills, they reheat well and they’re easy to make!

Sweet Potato Coconut Nog Pancakes

This recipe (original was Pumpkin Pancakes) is from a fellow blogger Cooking with Two Vegan Boys, she understands what it’s like to feed little kids!! I’m going to try her Starbucks Pumpkin Scones next!

This is a little more sweetness than I usually serve for breakfast but it was a really nice treat! My toddler loved them plain.

Sweet Potato Coconut Nog Pancakes

1 c soymilk

1 cup So Delicious Coconut Nog

1c sweet potato

2T margarine, melted – I used the new Earth Balance Coconut Spread

2t molasses

2T ground flax

3T sugar – I used turbinado

2c flour – I used whole wheat flour

2t baking powder

1t baking soda

1/4t salt

1t allspice

1t cinnamon

1/2t ginger powder

1/4t nutmeg

1 In a mixing bowl combine the dy ingredients, add the wet ingredients, gently stir to combine.

2. Lightly grease a skillet or griddle, pour 1/3c of batter (or more for larger pancakes) onto the griddle. *NOTE: These pancakes were thick and cake-like! I suggest flipping them a few times, pressing down lightly to smooth them down each time.

3. Cook until golden on both sides.  Serve with warm maple syrup.

Mix dry ingredients

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients

Gently stir to combine

They're thick so flip them a few times, lightly pat them flat each time

Yummy!

These are really good and easy to make, plus this batch makes a bunch of leftovers – great when you’ve been up all night with your 4-month old and you need a quick breakfast for your toddler! That’s my story lately so I really appreciate these kind of easy recipes. My toddler loves these pancakes! I top them with peanut butter and bananas for her… pure maple syrup for me. I put the leftovers in the fridge and toast them the next day.

This is another… wait for it… Melomeals recipe! I used applesauce instead of oil because I’m really trying to cut down on my oil consumption, you can use oil if you wish.

Easy Pumpkin Pancakes

I made these pancakes this morning… WOW! They taste just like pumpkin pie! My hubby and toddler scarfed them down, between the three of us we finished the whole batch!

These are perfect if you have leftover pumpkin from another recipe, that’s how I came to make these. I had a little under a cup of pumpkin puree left from making White Bean Pumpkin Pie Dip a couple of days ago so I added a little applesauce to make up the difference.

This recipe is from Cooking with Two Vegan Boys. You can find her on Facebook here. Her food posts always look delicious on her page, I can’t wait to try more of her recipes! This one is a keeper, for sure… in fact I bought 3 more cans of pumpkin at Trader Joe’s today with these in mind!

Here is her recipe:

Pumpkin Pancakes

* 2 cups soymilk

* 1 cup pumpkin puree (not canned pumpkin pie mix) – I had a little less than 1 cup so I added a little applesauce

* 2 Tbsp margarine, melted (I used melted coconut oil here)

* 2 tsp molasses (I use black strap molasses)

* 2 Tbsp ground flax

* 3 Tbsp sugar (I used raw/turbinado sugar)

* 2 cups flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour)

* 2 tsp baking powder

* 1 tsp baking soda

* 1/4 tsp salt

* 1 tsp allspice

* 1 tsp cinnamon

* 1/2 tsp ginger powder

* 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Directions:

– In a mixing bowl combine the dy ingredients, add the wet ingredients, gently stir to combine.

– Lightly grease a skillet or griddle, pour 1/3 cup of batter (or more for larger pancakes) onto the griddle.

– Cook until golden on both sides.  Serve with warm maple syrup.
