Healthy Pumpkin Sourdough Discard Pancakes

Chef #1040203's Note:

Something to do with your sourdough discard instead of wasting it! You can also use active sourdough starter for this instead of discard, I've used both successfully. This is a modification of this: http://yumarama.com/blog/2008/06/worlds-best-pancakes-starter-discard-rescue-recipe/ to make it a bit healthier!

Thank you, thank YOU!! I was looking for something to use up some starter (wasn't up for making bread!)...and had some leftover pumpkin in the fridge from an earlier batch of pumpkin bread. I threw this together in a few seconds, made pancakes and have wrapped/frozen them. They will be a WONDERFUL breakfast!! Oh... and they are absolutely delishious, too! (I only had buttermilk, but they were still good!)
