Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don’t have a blender? For best results, you want a smooth batter. If you don’t have a blender, you can use a hand-held or stand mixer.
Can I make these into pancakes? Yes, make this recipe into pancake batter in the exact same way. Be sure to spray your pan with cooking-spray to prevent sticking.
I had to open a can of pumpkin puree, what do I do with the rest? Use your extra pumpkin puree to make pumpkin muffins, use for a pumpkin pie filling or pumpkin cookies.
