Pumpkin Pancakes from Marilyn

A small amount of sugar in this, but a nice transition:
Here's a delicious recipe for pumpkin pancakes-which even my teenagers like:
1 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 t. baking powder (aluminum-free)
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. freshly grated ginger
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/4 t. sea salt
1 c. low fat milk
1 egg
1/3 c. canned pumpkin
2 T. oil
1/4 c. chopped walnuts
1/4 c. dried cranberries
Mix wet ingredients together, then mix dry ingredients together. Fold wet & dry ingredients together. Ladle spoonfuls of batter onto griddle and cook. I sprinkle the walnuts and cranberries on top as they are cooking. Flip pancakes when bubbles appear on top. Delicious!
