Pumpkin Pancake Bites

Here is a make ahead breakfast that you could do in a big batch and then freeze in portion sizes.  Eat them out of the oven, or warm them in the microwave then dip away.  After seeing these sold in the store I thought I could make them too and know what was going in them.  What kid doesn’t like using their fingers for eating?  You could use any pancake mix you love… I did pumpkin because of the time of year and it amps up the nutrition!

Pumpkin Pancake Bites

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 1 /2 cups fat free milk
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
• 1 egg white, lightly beaten
• 2 Tbsp canola oil

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients.  In a small bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin, egg white and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Spray mini muffin tin or line with papers.  Fill cups 3/4 full.  Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.  Pop out and enjoy!

For extra fun you could top the bites with sprinkles before baking!
