Pumpkin Pancakes with Maple Syrup and nuts



When you're ready for Pumpkin Spiced______________  (anything and everything- you fill in the blank) but aren't prepared for a full-blown dessert, nothing could be more simple than this easy pancake recipe.

It begins with a boxed pancake mix (I like Hungry Jack's brand) and with  just a few more ingredients and  minutes of your time , you can say, "Welcome, Fall!" before you head out the door on a busy autumn morning.

The top photo is one  of a large pancake I made using a leaf cookie cutter after it was finished cooking . I poured a little syrup and topped with pecans.

This is a dense pancake that has a perfect flavor.

Give it a try.

You will need:

*2 cups favorite pancake mix (plus water, or eggs/milk, as indicated on box)
*1/2 cup canned or fresh pumpkin
*1/4 cup water

*1 tsp cinnamon
*1/2 tsp allspice
*1/2 tsp ginger

OR

Substitution Options:
*2 tsp pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon, allspice and ginger

Chopped Pecans (optional)


Directions

In mixing bowl, combine pancake mix with water or eggs/milk. Whisk. Then whisk in canned pumpkin and water. Finally, whisk in spices.



Pour batter in 1/3 cup portions onto griddle. Let cook until bubbles form. Flip and let cook another 1-2 minutes.

Here's a pic the first time I made them.







And then my second attempt, just a little more artistic.



I also found this FREE printable that would look nice framed on your counter in the kitchen. CLICK HERE for the link to download yours.


Enjoy the season!
