The SECRET Step!
The step that makes these the BEST pumpkin pancakes ever is whipping the eggs whites. It gives the pancakes a light, airy texture, so do not skip this step.
How to Freeze Pancakes
Place all your pancakes on a sheet pan. Make sure they are not touching. Place in freezer for 30 minutes or until frozen. Remove from sheet pan and place in a resealable bag.
To reheat them in the microwave place pancakes on microwave safe place and microwave 20 seconds for one pancake. For each additional pancake add about 20 seconds to time.
To reheat in the oven preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place pancakes into a foil packet or flat layer on sheet pan and loosely cover with foil. Bake for about 10 minutes or until pancakes are warm and soft.
To reheat using the toaster simply place in toaster and toast. This will produce a more crispy outside then the other two methods of reheating.

Do you use the egg yolks in this recipe at all? It doesn’t specify beyond beating the egg whites so I wasn’t sure if the yolks were considered ‘wet ingredients’. Thanks.
Marie says
I see the egg yolks in pic #3 so they must be considered part of the wet ingredients.
