Pumpkin Pancakes

Here is a pumpkin pancake recipe for you to try this fall or any day of the year. I found it on All Recipes.One night my sister in laws and I had gone to IHOP to try their red velvet pancakes, but come to find out, they didn’t have them. I was sad…However, they had Pumpkin Pancakes instead. I didn’t mind. I love pumpkin! And let me tell you…they were DELICIOUS! You could really taste the pumpkin flavor in it and it was topped with whipped cream sprinkled with pumpkin pie spice. It was a little thin not as fluffy as their regular pancakes but it still tasted great. The next day, I immediately looked online for a recipe. Now, I wake up way too early in the morning to make this for breakfast so I had to wait a whole week to make it on the weekend. It tasted just as good as the one at IHOP. I followed the recipe but tweaked it a little, since I didn't have some spices on hand.

1  1/2c of milk

1 c pumpkin puree

1 egg

2 Tbl of vegetable oil

2 Tbl of vinegar

2 c all-purpose flour

2 Tbl brown sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1  1/2 tsp pumpkin spice

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

I mixed all the wet ingredients together in one bowl and added the sugar in it.

I then combined all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

I slowly added the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until everything was thoroughly mixed. There were a few small lumps in there, but that was okay. I let the batter sit for 5 minutes just to let that vinegar work in to make the batter fluffy and light.I then used an ice cream scooper to scoop the batter just because it was easier and I wanted all the pancakes to come out the same size. The batter may come out a little thick so I used a spoon to spread it wider. The perfect temperature setting I found was medium low. How you can tell when a pancake is ready to turn over is when the edges start to brown and dry up a little. You will also see a few holes forming at the top of the pancake.

It created that perfect light golden brown color. Topped it off with some whipped cream, syrup and powdered sugar mixed with pumpkin spice. This is a great recipe to try. You won't be disappointed!
