Ingredients | Measures |

Winter squash sampler, mashed and cooked | 2 cups |
Brown sugar | 2 tablespoons |
Fat free milk | 1 cup |
Egg substitute | ½ cup |
Unbleached white flour | ½ cup |
Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
Salt | ½ teaspoon |
Pinch fresh grated nutmeg | 1/8 teaspoon |
Chopped chives | 2 tablespoons |
Cooking spray | 3 sprays |
- Directions
- Beat the squash with the brown sugar, milk and egg substitute until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients into the squash mixture just until combined. Fold in the chives.
- Heat a griddle or heavy skillet lightly sprayed with cooking spray over medium heat.
- Preheat the oven to 250°F.
- Drop the batter onto the hot skillet by heaping tablespoonfuls. Lightly oil a spatula and flatten the pancakes. When they are golden brown on the bottom, flip them.
- As they brown on the other side, transfer them to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the batter.
