Janice here with some more breakfast time fun — this time I created Pumpkin Pancake Hearts. These unique little pancakes are light and delicate, and perfect for dipping in your favorite syrup. Thanks to Wholesome Sweeteners for sponsoring this post — and providing their scrumptious Organic Pancake Syrup for this sweet breakfast recipe.

Pumpkin Pancake Hearts

A couple weeks ago, I shared with you a recipe I made called Lollipop Pancakes. I had so much fun making those sweet treats, I have created another pancake twist — Pumpkin Pancake Hearts.

I love to add pumpkin to recipes — it adds texture, moisture, and vitamins! Since I made these pancakes gluten free, the pumpkin is especially nice to add a bit more flavor and fluff to the pancakes.

These “pancakes” shapes are actually easy to make and they are perfect for dipping. I used Organic Pancake Syrup by Wholesome Sweeteners for mine and it is delicious.

Wholesome Sweeteners is committed to providing their customers with Fairtrade Certified, Organic, Natural and Non-GMO Project Verified sweeteners sourced from ethically and environmentally responsible growers and manufacturers. They do not have any high fructose corn syrup in their products and they offer an incredible variety of sweeteners. I am super excited to have found them.

How to Make Pancake Hearts

To make the pancake hearts, I put my pancake batter into a squeeze bottle, (you can buy plastic squeeze bottles designed for cooking or simply use a mustard or ketchup squeeze bottle,) and drew the shapes onto my well buttered frying pan.

After flipping and finishing cooking my darling little pancake shapes, I arranged them on a platter and dusted with icing sugar and cinnamon and served with a side of Organic Pancake Syrup.

Pumpkin Pancake Hearts Recipe

You can make these pumpkin pancake shapes either gluten free or with regular flour. I have provided both options in the recipe below. If you or your child require gluten free, make sure that your baking powder is also gluten free.
