Pumpkin Pancakes, Pumpkin Muffins, and Cinnamon Apple Syrup

It is time to start harvesting pumpkins, and we just happen to love pumpkin muffins and pumpkin pancakes. After I make pumpkin puree, I freeze it in 2 cup portions. When I thaw a bowl, I make pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin muffins since they each require 1 cup of pureed pumpkin. You can use canned pumpkin instead, just make sure that it is plain pureed pumpkin.

We love REAL maple syrup, but when I am out, I make The Cinnamon Apple Syrup to tide us over. It really dresses up plain old pancakes as well as compliments the pumpkin pancakes. Cinnamon Apple Syrup is a low cost, low calorie alternative to maple syrup.

We enjoy using this delicious cinnamon apple syrup on top of our pancakes.

Cinnamon Apple Syrup

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons + 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 2/3 cup water
1 can apple juice concentrate, thawed
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

In a small sauce pan, combine the cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch. Gradually stir in the water and concentrate until it is smooth. Bring the syrup to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in vanilla. Serve warm over pancakes. Refrigerate the leftovers.

 

We will also have oatmeal, scrambled eggs, yogurt, and fruit for breakfast. Not all at once. Well, the 16 year old with the hollow leg might, but the rest of us will have a reasonable breakfast. What do you enjoy for breakfast? Does your breakfast menu change when you are trying to save money or is it influenced by the seasons?

    For sure I am going to make the Cinnamon Apple Syrup to save some calories. I often have one scrambled egg with a little cheddar cheese – no toast. Keeping it low carb!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
