Add Fruit to Your Pancakes
Thanks to the Zero Point Foods, fruit is a great way to add flavor bombs to your breakfast. While I was reading the first recipe for the pumpkin banana pancakes, FoodWineSunshine suggests making your own syrup using nothing but berries and their natural juices.
How Do I Make My Own Berry Syrup?
When I discovered how easy this recipe for Berry Syrup was, I immediately started to think of all the ways I could incorporate this into my other recipes!
- Start with blueberries, quartered strawberries and a splash of water in a coffee cup.
- Cover the cup with a paper towel to prevent the blueberries from exploding all over the inside of your microwave.
- Microwave for about 30 seconds and stir.
- If you need more time, microwave in 10-second increments until it reaches the consistency you are looking for.
Pro Tip: I am a huge fan of combining blackberries and blueberries. Use blackberries in place of strawberries for a “Bruise Berry Syrup”.
What Other Toppings Can I Put On Pumpkin Banana Pancakes?
There are a number of toppings you could choose to switch up the taste of your pancakes. Besides the berry syrup listed above, you could also have fresh fruit, fat free cool whip, a sprinkle of PB2, nuts, seeds… it all depends on what you like and the points you want to use.
However, I am a huge fan of Walden Farms Syrups. They offer a wide variety of flavors that have no calories, no fat, no carbs, no gluten and no sugar. That's right, none of that yucky stuff and all the good flavor and ZERO POINTS.
You may find a few of these already in your local stores or Walmart, but you can also purchase directly from their site.
- Maple Bacon Syrup (How Perfect!)
- Chocolate Syrup
- Caramel Syrup
- Pancake Syrup
- Blueberry Syrup
- Maple Walnut Syrup
- Strawberry Syrup
The syrup bottles listed above are $4.99 each for a 12 oz bottle. For the first 10 items, shipping is $8.95, 11-20 items another $8.95 shipping charge, 21-30 is another $8.95 and so on. For the best deal, cooperate with others in the area to split an order with you to maximize your value.
Also, if you would rather shop on Amazon, that is an option as well!
I highly recommend using the maple walnut syrup for my Maple Walnut Pork Chops and Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts too!
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these pancakes suitable for kids?
Certainly! These pancakes are not only adult-approved but also kid-friendly. The natural sweetness from the banana makes them appealing to young taste buds, while the pumpkin spice can be adjusted to suit their preferences. It's a fantastic way to introduce children to the flavors of the season in a format they already love. Plus, involving kids in the pancake-making process can be a fun and engaging way to spend quality time together in the kitchen.
Can I substitute fresh pumpkin for canned pumpkin?
Yes, you can substitute fresh pumpkin for canned pumpkin at the same measurements. In fact, making fresh pumpkin puree is so simple, there's really no reason not to use it fresh if it's in season. Check out this video below to see the comparison.
Can these pancakes be made in advance and stored for later?
Yes, these banana pumpkin spice pancakes are as convenient as they are delicious. Make a batch and let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container with sheets of parchment paper between each pancake to prevent sticking. They'll keep in the refrigerator for a few days or in the freezer for up to a month. When you're ready to enjoy, simply reheat them in the microwave or on a warm skillet until heated through.

Notes
