Ingredients
- Pancakes:
- 2 cup(s) flour, all-purpose
- 2 tablespoon sugar, brown
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 cup(s) milk, fat-free
- 1 cup(s) pumpkin
- 1/2 cup(s) refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
- 2 tablespoon oil, cooking
- cooking spray
- Mousse:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2 TBS confectioners sugar
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Pumpkin Pancakes:
- In a medium bowl stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Make a well in the center of flour mixture.
- In another medium bowl combine the milk, pumpkin, egg product, and oil. Add the milk mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).
- Lightly coat a nonstick griddle or heavy skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle or skillet. Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes or until pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry. Turn pancakes; cook about 2 minutes more or until golden brown.
- Mousse:
- To serve, whisk heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, cinnamon and vanilla in a medium bowl until stiff. Using an Ateco #864 star tip, pipe whipped cream in rosettes onto pancakes.

Thank you for sharing this lovely breakfast recipe. Gives a new meaning to having pancakes for breakfast. This recipe seams so sophisticated with the addition of the mousse and wholesome with the pumpkin added into the pancake mix.
Thank you for your comment. I find that just a little bit of unexpected touches can really change the whole experience. I made Cheerios by candlelight one morning and the kids are stiull talking about it 20 years later! Have a great week.
Congrats Marilyn! Your post is Featured at the #BloggingGrandmothersLinkParty that goes live later on tonight. See here: https://grammysgrid.com/blogging-grandmothers-link-party-22/
Thanks Dee. I was so excited I ran right over and tweeted. I guess I need to wait until the party opens. LOL. Have a great week!
I’m confused about the cinnamon mousse. Is the cinnamon just sprinkled over the top of it? I don’t see cinnamon as an ingredient in the mousse.
What a keen eye you have!! I adapted this recipe by using a cinnamon mousse I use on top of a pumpkin pie. I fixed the recipe and instructions to match what I did. Thanks for pointing that out! I can’t believe I never noticed. Have a great week!
You had me at pancakes and healthy in the same sentence Marilyn. These sound super delicious with the cinnamon mousse too. Thank you for sharing at Create, Bake, Grow & Gather this week. I’m delighted to be featuring this recipe at tonight’s party and pinning too!
