Pumpkin pancakes

The good thing about this recipe for lean pumpkin pancakes is that it is versatile and much healthier than classic flour pancakes. This dish is healthy because it contains a minimal amount of flour.

And it is universal in that it can be prepared in completely different ways: salty, sweet, with spices and herbs.

Preparing pancakes is quite simple, the only thing is that frying them will take some time. Therefore, if you are cooking for a large family, use two frying pans at the same time. We suggest preparing an unusual salty version of pumpkin pancakes without eggs with Indian spices.

Ingredients:

  • Peeled pumpkin – 0.5 kg.
  • Chickpea (or wheat) flour – 1 cup
  • Salt – 0.5 tbsp. spoons
  • Spices: curry, asafoetida – 0.5 teaspoon each
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

How to make pumpkin pancakes:

1. The pumpkin must be grated on a fine grater. Add salt to it and mix well so that the pumpkin releases a little juice (if you are preparing sweet pancakes, add half a glass of sugar).

2. Add 1 cup of flour and spices to the pumpkin. We chose chickpea flour as a healthier alternative to white wheat flour (it's high in protein and gluten-free).

You can choose any spices. We suggest using asafoetida and curry as they go well with pumpkin.

3. Knead a homogeneous dough from grated pumpkin and flour. It will not be very liquid, but it should not be very thick so that you can form pancakes in a frying pan.

4. When the dough is ready, place a frying pan with a small amount of oil over low heat so that it heats evenly.

5. You can start frying the pancakes. To do this, you need to put about 1 tablespoon of dough in the pan and smooth it out. Repeat until the pan is full and cook for a few minutes until golden brown.

Your pumpkin pancakes are ready!

Pumpkin pancakes can be served warm or cold. The side dish can be fresh vegetables, simple porridge from any cereal, sour cream or homemade mayonnaise.

Not long ago I discovered a recipe for dessert pumpkin pancakes. I don’t really respect pumpkin in porridges, but this product is very healthy and you need to eat it, so I was looking for where else it could be used. And then my mother came to the rescue and advised me to make such a delicacy as pumpkin pancakes. Believe it or not, we didn’t feel any pumpkin flavor in them at all, although we also added an apple to the dough.

Today I have made a selection of recipes using raw and cooked pumpkin, as well as with various additives that can greatly affect the taste and nutritional value of the pancakes.

  • Lush pancakes with kefir
  • Recipe without flour with semolina

To ensure that your pancakes always turn out well, I want to give you a few tips that experienced housewives have already identified.

  1. Any base, be it milk, sour cream or kefir, needs to be warmed or simply taken out of the refrigerator in advance. About two hours.
  2. Take eggs at room temperature.
  3. Sift the flour two or three times before adding it to the dough, then the dough will become more airy.
  4. It is necessary to fry over medium heat, otherwise the sides will burn and the middle will remain raw.
  5. Boiled pumpkin makes pancakes more tender and there is less pumpkin flavor.
  6. Soda is added to kefir, its acid should be enough to extinguish it. Therefore, it is better to take kefir that is not the freshest, but has stood for a couple of days.
  7. For pancakes, choose meaty butternut squash, it has more sugar and vitamins. Large-fruited varieties are also suitable if you don’t have nutmeg on hand.
  8. If you have a non-stick frying pan, then add one tablespoon of vegetable oil to each dough so that the dough comes off the bottom easily.

How to quickly and deliciously cook pumpkin and apple pancakes

We have previously prepared this dish from sour cream, kefir and milk. But the ratio of ingredients changes slightly when new products are introduced. After all, it is worth considering whether they will give juice and whether it is worth increasing the amount of flour because of this.

In my opinion, this is the simplest and most delicious pancake recipe. Apples add a unique aroma, and in combination with pumpkin they reduce the calorie content of food. Children will definitely appreciate the food, especially if served with sour store-bought sour cream.

The taste we get is a sweet and sour product. But if you take more sugar, the sweetness will increase. I am for less sugar and more natural taste.

Ingredients:

  • 300 g pumpkin
  • 100 g apples
  • 3 tbsp. Sahara
  • 2 eggs
  • 150 ml kefir
  • 200 g flour
  • 1 tsp soda
  • Sunflower oil

Cut the peeled pumpkin pieces from seeds and peel and place them in the chopper bowl.

Peel the apples and remove the middle, cut the fruit into slices and lower it to the pumpkin.

Turn on the blender or food processor. You can replace this technique with a grater, then choose the large side of the grater and do everything manually.

Now add eggs to this mixture, pour in kefir and sprinkle with sugar. Mix thoroughly.

Sift the flour into the dough, adding baking soda at the final stage. It will begin to react to the acid of kefir, so for now we will put the mass aside and begin to prepare the container for frying.

Choose a frying pan with a thick bottom, grease it with oil and heat it over high heat.

As soon as we start frying the dough, immediately reduce the heat intensity to medium, otherwise it will simply burn.

You can take frozen pumpkin and boil it until tender. Then the dough will be homogeneous without grains and it will be difficult to guess what you added inside.

A simple recipe for pumpkin and cottage cheese pancakes

Some people call these pancakes cheesecakes with pumpkin, but you and I should first of all be seduced by their taste, not the name. So, add one more ingredient - cottage cheese. You can take any fat content; it also makes no difference whether you buy it or boil it yourself.
Just remember that the curd grains will be visible in the finished cake and can be felt in your mouth. This may not be to everyone's taste.

I think it’s better to grind the grains through a sieve or with a fork.

Ingredients:

  • 200 g cottage cheese
  • 300 g pumpkin
  • 3 tbsp. flour
  • 2 tbsp. Sahara
  • Vegetable oil

If your cottage cheese is not crumbly, but purchased in a bar, then gently mash it with a fork.

Beat in the eggs and mix with the cottage cheese.

Grate the pumpkin on a fine grater, combine it with the curd mixture and sprinkle with sugar.

Sift the flour and add it to the dough, mixing everything well.

You can add cinnamon for flavor.

Fry the dough in a hot frying pan with hot oil.

If you have overdone it with oil, then spread out a paper towel and place the pancakes removed from the pan on it. This way, the towel will absorb unnecessary fat, and you will eat fewer unhealthy calories.

Lush pancakes with kefir

Oh, how we all love fluffy pancakes! Making them on a kefir basis is as easy as shelling pears, because kefir perfectly extinguishes soda. But for this it is necessary that it simmers in the refrigerator for a couple of days and becomes more vigorous, and also that it warms up in a warm place for a couple of hours before the cooking process.

Then it will have a good concentration of acid and you won’t have to resort to vinegar. I will still give a recipe using vinegar, because with it everything is a little more complicated than just pouring soda into kefir.

Ingredients for 21 pieces:

  • 350 g peeled pumpkin
  • 0.5 l kefir
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp. Sahara
  • 1 tsp soda
  • 2 tsp vinegar 9%
  • 500 – 550 g flour
  • Vegetable oil

Grate the pumpkin on a fine grater.

In a separate deep bowl, mix eggs with salt and sugar. Then pour warm kefir and add sifted flour.

Now pour out the baking soda and quench it with vinegar. You don’t have to use vinegar if you are sure that the acid in kefir will be enough to interact with the soda.

Check the dough, the pumpkin may have released juice and thinned out the mixture a little. If you get the same result, add a couple more tablespoons of flour.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.

Pour a little oil into the frying pan, heat it well and lay out the pancakes, immediately turn down the heat.

Fry until golden brown, see how well the dough rises.

Recipe with raw pumpkin in the oven

All the above recipes are indicated using the raw part of the pumpkin. This is the most common option, when in the autumn, you need to tidy up all the vegetables, or even better, eat them in order to get enough vitamins for the winter.

But it can also be replaced with boiled pumpkin mass. I'll talk about this a little later. Now let's look at how to cook pancakes without a frying pan.

Ingredients:

  • 400 g peeled pumpkin
  • 2 tbsp. Sahara
  • 0.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsp. yogurt
  • 1.5 cups flour
  • A little salt
  • Oil for greasing the mold

Grate the peeled and seeded pumpkin piece on a coarse grater.

Now add three eggs, yogurt, cinnamon sugar and flour into the bowl with the pumpkin.

Mix the dough. It should have the consistency of thick sour cream.

Take a deep pan and line it with parchment paper. The paper needs to be greased with vegetable oil, otherwise you will tear off the finished pancakes along with it.

Now place the lumps of dough at a short distance from each other.

You need to bake them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 15 minutes. Then take out the pan and carefully turn them over to the other side with a spatula and leave in the oven for another 10 minutes.

How to Make Pumpkin Pancakes Without Eggs

Well, now it’s time for the most dietary and lean recipe. It is for true gourmets who recognize the purity of taste of products. There is practically nothing in it except flour and the pumpkin itself.

By the way, this is where we use cooked vegetables, not fresh ones. Frozen pumpkin is also perfect for cooking.

Ingredients:

  • 400 g pumpkin
  • 3 tbsp. Sahara
  • 1.5 cups flour
  • Vanillin
  • 0.5 tsp soda
  • Quarter lemon

Steam the pumpkin and pass it through a sieve. It will turn out very soft, so you can even simply grind the pulp with a fork into a homogeneous puree.

Add sugar, vanillin and soda slaked with lemon juice. Now add the sifted flour. This is an important condition for the pancakes to become fluffy.

Look at the consistency, it should become like thick sour cream. Therefore, you may need less flour.

The dough differs from regular dough only in color.

Also pour it into a frying pan, forming circles and fry until cooked over medium heat.

I think that this treat with pumpkin is still more suitable for dessert or afternoon snack, so add more spicy seasonings: vanilla, cinnamon or lemon zest. You will immediately feel how their taste will change for the better.

Recipe without flour with semolina

I also want to tell you about an interesting recipe without flour. We will make a thickening base from semolina and oatmeal. But, both of these ingredients take time to swell and become soft, only then they will not be felt in the pancakes in the finished treat. The flakes can be taken not whole, but ground to make the dough more tender.

Ingredients:

  • 400 g pumpkin
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tbsp. decoys
  • 2 tbsp. oatmeal
  • 3 tbsp. Sahara
  • ¼ tsp. salt

Finely grate the pumpkin. Beat eggs into it, add sugar and semolina.

It is better to grind the oatmeal a little in a blender. And pour them into a common bowl.

The pumpkin dough should not turn out liquid; it will be better if it holds its shape on a spoon.

Choose a frying pan with high sides and a thick bottom.

Grease the bottom and lay out the dough, not forgetting to leave space between the cakes.

Reduce the heat to medium so that the flatbreads have time to cook.

Place the finished pancakes on a paper towel to remove excess fat from frying and serve.

Semolina pancakes taste much better while hot, so try to cook them just before serving. But, of course, you can always reheat them in the microwave or oven.

Video on how to make savory pancakes with zucchini

And yet, pumpkin goes well with vegetables and fruits, as well as meat. Therefore, I will provide a video on how to make savory pumpkin pancakes.

You may want to use more than just wheat flour. And replace it, for example, with corn or rye. Then the taste will be more interesting and unusual than the usual pancakes.

Thank you for your attention and would love to hear how you feel about pumpkin pancakes.

One of the features of modern cuisine is the almost complete rejection of seasonality. Pizza or omelet with fresh tomatoes can be enjoyed all year round.

But even so, there remain dishes that are more typical for a specific time, tied to the full ripening of vegetables in the garden. One of them is pumpkin.

Ripening in late autumn, it pleases lovers of healthy dietary food almost throughout the winter.

In addition, it can easily be stored even in the refrigerator throughout the winter and is ready to please fans of vitamins even after the onset of frost. In a word, when you want to please your loved ones with a simple and tasty dish, it’s difficult to come up with something simpler and faster than pumpkin pancakes. The recipe is suitable both for every day and for weekends, when the whole family craves something sweet.

The history of pumpkin pancakes

Naturally, it is always interesting not only to prepare a delicious recipe, but also to find out how, why and when such delicious food appeared.

Pumpkin and dishes prepared from it appeared on our table not so long ago, but they have become so firmly entrenched in our diet that many are perceived as primordially national. In reality, the pumpkin has a more distant country of origin.

It, like many other vegetables, was brought to Europe by Columbus. But around the 17th century it became known in Russia.

In general, everything related to the history of the origin of such a dish as pancakes is also shrouded in mystery. The proportions, as well as the optimal ratio of all components, constantly vary depending on the wishes of the cook.

Ingredients for pumpkin pancakes

Benefits of pumpkin pancakes

One of the most important advantages of pumpkin is its dietary content.

In terms of its usefulness, it is often compared to another popular vegetable - zucchini, which contains the same amount of vitamins and essential substances while maintaining a very low calorie content.

Therefore, such a dish as pumpkin and zucchini pancakes is just as popular as a simple recipe consisting exclusively of the melon culture loved by many.

First of all, pumpkin is valued for its high content of natural potassium, which is useful for the prevention of cardiovascular problems. By increasing the permeability of the walls of blood vessels, it helps relieve swelling. Fiber normalizes the activity of the intestines, liver, and in general, activating digestive processes. The presence of pectins and carotene explains its usefulness in reducing cholesterol.

Pumpkin is perhaps one of the few vegetables containing such rare vitamins T and K. Naturally, it also contains such popular ones as C, PP and many others belonging to group B. Having mastered such a simple and quick-to-prepare recipe as pancakes, You can safely vary the amount of ingredients or filling.

For example, a vegetable dish can be made not only sweet, but also salty. These pancakes will be especially tasty with the addition of zucchini. But since you and I are preparing a sweet dessert, KhozOboz recommends using fruits rather than vegetables as additives. So, by rubbing an apple into the dough, you can add originality and piquancy to the dish.

  4. Sugar is also put there. Don't overdo it, as the pumpkin itself is sweet, provided it's ripe.

The subtleties of making delicious pumpkin pancakes

If the pumpkin pulp is too harsh and cannot be used raw, the vegetable must first be stewed or steamed. It is not advisable to boil pumpkin in water to make pancakes. But the best option would be to bake the vegetable in the oven under foil. Thanks to this, the pumpkin will become softer, sweeter, and more aromatic.

When combined with salt and sugar, crushed pumpkin pulp releases a lot of juice. This must be taken into account when kneading the dough. It is recommended not to flour the dough, but to drain the juice and squeeze out the pulp before mixing with the rest of the ingredients.

The dough for pumpkin pancakes can be made without flour. Instead of this mandatory component, semolina is used. After mixing all the ingredients, this dough should be left alone for 20–30 minutes so that the semolina swells well.

In terms of taste, the sweet orange vegetable goes well with apples, dried apricots, cottage cheese, hard and soft cheeses, zucchini, carrots, onions, and minced chicken. Low-calorie dietary pancakes are prepared in the oven with the addition of oatmeal.

For flavor, garlic and spices (turmeric, cinnamon, rosemary, nutmeg, vanillin, ginger, saffron) are added to the dough.

In the summer, when fresh pumpkin is difficult to find, you can use frozen or canned vegetables to make pancakes.

Important! Despite all its beneficial properties and high taste characteristics, pumpkin has contraindications for consumption. Orange vegetables and dishes made from it should be excluded from the diet for people suffering from diabetes, gastritis with low acidity, duodenal ulcers, and stomach ulcers.

Pumpkin is a unique vegetable. In addition to the fact that it is very healthy and inexpensive, it can be successfully used in preparing both sweet and savory dishes. We love these pumpkin spice pancakes. They turn out incredibly tender, just melt in your mouth, and are prepared from the simplest and most affordable ingredients.
