Pumpkin Pancakes

Well Hello Fall!!! And all things pumpkin.

Enter Pumpkin pancakes.

And many more yummy pumpkin creations to come.   (Sigh)

The count down has begun; I only have 51 days to enjoy my dear friend pumpkin. As much as I love fall and all that it involves… long drives for leaf peeping, frequent visits to cider mills for hot cider and warm donuts, hay rides, corn mazes and treks to the pumpkin patch… it is all short-lived. For me everything has its season, and so does any recipe involving pumpkin.   I just can’t seem to bring myself to use pumpkin as an ingredient after Thanksgiving. I know what you’re thinking. I have issues… don’t worry I’m getting help.

Ahem, back to the pumpkin pancakes… a traditional kickoff to the fall cooking season in our home. These pancakes are delicious and nutritious - low in fat and high flavor.

ABOUT THE RECIPE:

I like to use almond milk because that's what we have on hand at our house.  The original recipe called for non-fat milk, feel free to swap out with whatever you have on hand.

These flavor frisbees are sweet enough on their own from the brown sugar so not much syrup is needed, if any at all.  I find they are more dense (less fluffy) than traditional pancakes, but rest assured that just means more flavor in every bite!

Let's do this!
