This is the third and final installment in the pumpkin pie trilogy here at The Peanut Butter Boy. The first was Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream, which besides being a dessert is also a nutritious meal. Next up was Pumpkin Pie Peanut Butter Oatmeal, the latest and greatest way to get your morning veggies. All of these recipes are inspired by pumpkin pie and contain, you guessed it, pumpkin and peanut butter. Peanut butter is not in the list of ingredients for this final recipe, but rather, it goes on top. As demonstrated in the photo, I’ve tried 3 different toppings for these pancakes but the winner is clear. If you haven’t yet, click here and make some Cinnamon Currant Peanut Butter. It is the most used jar of peanut butter in my collection and is delicious on pretty much everything.
Print
1 cup oats
1 cup nonfat cottage cheese w/ salt
3/4 cup egg substitute (or 3 eggs)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1t cinnamon
1/2t nutmeg
2t maple syrup
1 banana, in 1/4″ slices (optional)
1/4 cup skim or soymilk, as needed
Directions:
1. Add all ingredients to blender, except banana and milk, and process until extra smooth. Pour into a bowl or tupperware. Stir in milk as needed to thin out, but you shouldn’t need to do so until the batter has been refrigerated.
2. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once heated, spray the skillet with cooking spray and drop batter into the pan, about 1/4 cup per pancake. Place 3 slices of banana into the top of each pancake, if using. Once they begin to set (~ 2 minutes), flip over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
3. Top with peanut butter (recommended: Cinnamon Currant Peanut Butter) or butter and drizzle with maple syrup.
Additional Info:
This recipe is based on the popular Banana Pancakes but switches out the banana puree for pumpkin puree. I don’t recommend increasing the amount of pumpkin puree unless you want a gooey pancake.

p.s. Love the new look! Loads way faster, so I can get more PB immediately. :D
Mmm looks so good. I love your banana pancakes so I will have to try these for sure!
Another winner, Nick! Can’t wait to try this one! :)
Oh man, those pancakes look insanely tempting. Yum!!
**To answer the question you asked me, on my blog, about leaving comments – GOOGLE READER BLOG SUBSCRIPTION UPDATES!!!! Gotta get with it, Nick, haha ;0)
Wow. Those pancakes look delicious. I wish I could eat them off my screen. :)
Those are some nice pancakes.
Love the new look and I am drooling over these pancakes!
Nick, these pancakes really look amazing and so seasonal! A definite dinner for one night next week.I’ll let you know how we like them but I think I already know. I was thinking maybe a topping of sauteed cinnamon apples?
Good, I’m on the eveyone else!
Do you know what I was thinking? A pumpkin pie pancaque, topped with pumpkin pie oatmeal and a big scoop of pumpkin pie ice-cream. What do you think?
Krista, They were all fantastic but cinnamon raisin peanut butter reigned supreme!
Jessie, Thanks! Loads faster too? Excellent!
Sagan, If you’re a fan of the former then you’ll be a fan of these.
Veggiegirl, I suppose that explains it, I’m just amazed you have time for anything else!
Juliet, I hope I live to see the day technology reaches that stage.
Megan, Thanks, glad you enjoy!
Mom, Ooh, great idea mom. I’ll give that a try.
Clumbsycookie, Haha, I love that idea! Perhaps the oatmeal could be swirled into the batter even….Topped with ice cream, what a treat!
Peanut butter and pumpkin is an excellent combination. I just made some cookies that prove it.
So, what are your feelings on other nut butters? I’m asking because mixing pumpkin with almond butter and spreading it on things is fun and delicious.
oh, these look great! so many uses for pumpkin! i’m sure they’re delicious!!!
That looks like an awesome breakfast!
I’ve given you an award, check it out!

Hey there Nick, I love your PB breakfasts. Compile the lot and you’ll have a very nice cookbook – I’ll accept a dedication for the brilliant idea ;) In fact, I may have a recipe for you soon.
I haven’t tried using skimmed milk for the ricotta, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work; I gather the lemon juice reacts with the milk proteins to produce the curds. If you do try it with skimmed milk, I’d love to know how it turns out.
I love your website. I adore PB although I don’t eat it that often because of the calories. I also LOVE pumpkin!!!!
OMG your recipes look amazing, they made my day.. thanks for taking the time to do this!
HangryPants, It truly is an excellent combination, one that most people never think to try. I’m not a huge fan of other nut butters to be honest. I love almonds but dislike almond butter. I high dislike cashews so I’m not sure if I even want to try cashew butter. I haven’t tried pecan or walnut butter mostly because of the expense but I like the crunch of regular nuts, it’s more satisfying somehow… But for use in recipes or mixed with other things I’m sure other nut butters are outstanding.
Sarah, Thanks! That’s funny, this will be the third time I’m receiving that award!
Dee, I would live to create a cookbook someday. I think I’ll need a few more recipes for an entire cookbook but that’s one of my dreams/goals. I gotta try making ricotta, it’s one of my fav cheeses.
Leslie, Don’t worry about the calories in peanut butter, they’re all healthy calories. The high fat in peanut butter is good fat and will actually help you lose weight and stay trim on an otherwise lowfat diet. Glad you enjoy the recipes!
Interesting. I think if I had to pick, I like PB better, too. AB is interesting to bake or cook with because it’s much more subtle than PB.
uhm hi my sweetie pie… do i need to remind u my b-day is on Sunday?? :)
looks fun, as always… so creative.
very creative here.
I’ll take 2 of each, I’ll have no problem eaitng all that.
These are really similar to ones I make except I leave out the oats. Yum!
those look amazing. can’t wait to try ‘em!
my my looks like i missed a few posts… must update google reader. Another winner! I put pb-choc chips in my pumpkin cookies this weekend and they rocked!!
Can you whip me up some of those for lunch, please? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASE?
We are in a buckwheat pancake phase right now…pancakes for dinner, yum!
Oh wow, these look so tasty!!
These look soooo good!! I cannot wait to try them. I just found your site through KERF and an so happy I did – I looooove PB!!
HangryPants, Glad you agree with me on this!
Bren, Mail order pancakes, talk about decadence.
Dawn, I’d like to see it! When I polish that plate off for breakfast I’m STUFFED. These are some filling pancakes.
Carol, They hold together well without the oats? No flour?
ttfn300, I changed hosting and switched from Blogger to Wordpress so everything has shifted! Hope you got it all fixed and working again, I think I’m losing a lot of readers because of this move!
Aforkful, Sure thing! I’ve always got a batch waiting in the freezer =)
Michelle Ann, Buckwheat pancakes are delicious too and any pancakes are good for dinner. There is nothing better or more exciting than brinner!
Maria, They are!
Catherine, Excellent! Great to see another PB fanatic on board!
Oh, how did I miss this when it came out? That’s a couple weeks now I could have been eating these things. And there’s pumpkin pie ice cream too!?
/drool
Heck ya, get with the program Charlie! – Nick
YUM! I want one of these right now!
Those look absolutely divine. I wish I were waking up to them right now… haha unfortunately not :[ Waa! You tease me so..
Not to further the wound, but these are incredible. Get the few ingredients you need and make a batch, it will last about a week and you can always double the batch and freeze half. Enjoy! ~ Nick
