Pumpkin Seed Flour Pancakes

Pumpkin seed flour is produced by thorough grinding of the gently de-oiled hulled pumpkin seeds. It can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes, as a breading flour, in smoothies or combined with other flours. Pumpkin seed flour is naturally rich in minerals including copper, calcium and magnesium, as well as vitamins A and E. It is also, gluten-free, nut-free, low in fat and very low in carbohydrates, with a particularly high protein (40%) and fibre content. This means it's not only perfectly safe for consumption if one is allegic to tree nuts and wheat gluten, also keto and paleo friendly.

60 g Organic pumpkin seed flour (I use Seitenbacher)
1/3 tsp Baking powder
120 g Cream cheese, at room-temperature
4 Large eggs, at room-temperature
1 tsp Lemon zest
1-2 tbsp Butter for frying
Fresh blackberries, to serve (optional) Keto maple syrup (or regular maple syrup if you are not on low-carb diet) Pumpkin seeds, to garnish

In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin seed flour, cream cheese, eggs, and lemon zest until smooth.
In a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt 1/2 teaspoon of butter. Pour in about 2-3 tablespoons batter and cook until golden, 2 minutes. Flip and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve topped with fresh blackberries and keto maple syrup or regular syrup if you ain't on the low-carb diet. Garnish with pumpkin seeds if using.

The Happy Whisk 25/4/23 23:17: I kid you not! Just earlier today I made my own pumpkin seed flour and used it in spelt, oat, chia and flax pancakes. Delightful. I just love ground pumpkin seed for protein bars and granola too! Winner, winner, pumpkin seed dinner.
Tom 25/4/23 23:27: ...and the blackberries are a nice touch.

Lola Martínez 26/4/23 07:56: Esa harina será deliciosa, con lo que me gusta una calabaza, seguro que prepararía muchas recetas con ella. No la conozco, pero si la encontrara lo primero que haría serían estas tortitas buenísimas.
Un beso.

Liz That Skinny Chick Can Bake 26/4/23 13:27: So yummy served with blackberries and I need to hunt down some pumpkin seed flour!!! These pancakes sound terrific!
DEZMOND 26/4/23 14:06: I use it all the time and love it, love the green colour it gives to everything, plus it is so incredibly healthy! I will share with you a quick recipe for oatmeal omellete with you: mix 5 spoons of ground oatmeal flakes, 1 spoon of pumpkin seed flour, some salt and pepper, one egg and half a deciliter of water. Pour that into a slightly oiled pan, cover it and fry for about five minutes both sides. It is extremely simple and healthy and you can always change it, put six spoons of oats, or instead of one spoon of pumpkin flour, you can put a spoon of red lentil flour, flax, sesame etc.
DEZMOND 26/4/23 14:07: @DEZMOND PS fry it on the lowest heat.
Christine 26/4/23 15:49: Nutritious.

foodtravelandwine 27/4/23 02:23: I have to try it!!.......Have you make this recipe with almond flour? from the carbs point of view, Which one is low carb in your experience??.....Love it!........Abrazotes, Marcela
Angie's Recipes 27/4/23 04:09: @foodtravelandwineI can't remember if I tried the exactly same recipe with almond flour, though I have baked lots of low carb bread and buns with it. I think almonds have more carb, but it's still quite low.
tigerfish 27/4/23 04:11: Yet another specialty flour and this time, from pumpkin seeds! The pancakes look quite dense.
Carol @Comfort Spring Station 27/4/23 13:18: That looks so delicious and sneaky healthy!
Whats Cookin Italian Style Cuisine 27/4/23 14:37: What a delicious breakfast or breakfast for supper pancakes!
Raymund 28/4/23 03:11: I had no idea that pumpkin seed flour could be used in so many different ways. The fact that it's gluten-free, nut-free, low in fat, and high in protein and fiber makes it a great option for anyone with dietary restrictions.
Anonymous 28/4/23 04:55: Judee from Gluten Free A-Z Blog: I love the presentation in a stack and the blackberries. The recipe looks delicious too.
thepaintedapron.com 28/4/23 14:46: Pumpkin seed flour sounds truly amazing! I've never heard of it before~ I looked on Amazon and there is is, you can buy it online if it's not available in your store!
Anonymous 29/4/23 05:18: I'm ordering pumpkin seed flour right after I leave this note. I think I've told you before, but you've introduced me to so many unique and interesting flours to bake and cook with. With a son with Celiac, I love learning about them. The pancakes look so fluffy and delicious. :-) ~Valentina
Izaa 29/4/23 17:23: i love pancakes
