NOM NOM NOM (Pumpkin Pancakes)

I like to think that I am not part of the “Pumpkin Spice Craze” because I don’t drink coffee and don’t see the obsession with Pumpkin Spice Latte (or PSL for you hardcore coffee drinkers out there) but I do indulge in other things that throw pumpkin into the mix.

I already have a recipe for Pumpkin Muffins but I wanted to try pancakes.

So where did I go to find a recipe? Pinterest, of course! I’ve been on Pinterest from the beginning but its just now where I am getting hooked obit. Well, not necessity hooked as I can’t spend hours on there looking for things. I can barely stay on for 10 minutes. I have to be looking for something specific if I go on.

Anyways, I found a recipe I liked and I was finally able to make it. Here it is (I put in parentheses what I used or didn’t)

Pumpkin Pancakes

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (I use all-purpose unbleached flour)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (Didn’t have ginger so it was omitted)
1/2 teaspoon salt (sea salt)
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves (no cloves-omitted)
1 cup milk (almond milk)
6 tablespoons pumpkin puree (didn’t so exact measurements (I never do.) used about 1/4 of the can)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg
Directions:
Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg and cloves in a medium bowl.
Whisk together the milk, pumpkin, butter and egg in a separate bowl. Fold this mixture into the dry ingredients.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake and cook approximately 3 minutes per side.
Serve with butter and maple syrup. (I’ve never liked butter in my pancakes (I hate when restaurants put huge ice cream scoops of butter on them) so this was definitely omitted)
