This recipe is long past due. I meant to post pumpkin pancakes last
year and didn’t get around to it so I’ve been holding out for this fall
and just couldn’t wait any longer. These pancakes are like pumpkin pie
covered with Heavenly goodness. Pumpkin pie in breakfast form, oh yes! I
loaded these with pumpkin pie spices along with just the right amount
of pumpkin and brown sugar, then couldn’t choose between toppings so I
decided to post both and they were both meant to be with these pumpkin-y
pancakes. The one covered with cream cheese syrup and optional
chocolate chips and pecans is a complete reminder of one of my favorite
Fall cupcakes and the other is my idea of the perfect fall breakfast,
with it’s pecan-pumpkin combo and of course the addition of browned
butter (because who can resist? If you are going to make butter pecan
syrup you may as well brown it first, right?).
These
pancakes make the perfect special occasion breakfast or they could
definitely pass for an enticing dessert. But trust me, your not going to
want a short stack, you’ll want them piled high and covered with a
generous helping of the velvety rich syrup or tangy sweet glaze. Enjoy!
Yes, I definitely over-whipped my cream. It’s what happens when you aren’t paying attention :).
