Easy Pumpkin Pancakes (Tasty Tuesday)

Pumpkin Spice Latte, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin candles…if you are “basic” like me – then you are guilty of loving all things PUMPKIN – and these easy pumpkin pancakes are no exception!

And that love doesn’t stop at breakfast.  On today’s edition of Tasty Tuesday – we are flippin’ some Easy Pumpkin Pancakes!

INGREDIENTS

DRY Ingredients

1 ½ cup pancake mix (I used Bisquick)

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground nutmeg

¼ tsp ground cloves 

¼ cup sugar (optional)

 

WET Ingredients

1 cup milk

½ water

½ cup canned pumpkin

Start with combining the dry ingredients.  The original recipe called for ½ tsp of ginger.  But I like the taste of cloves — so I changed it.  Also — the original recipe had NO sugar — but I can tell you, it is needed.  However, if you do not like sweet pancakes — you, of course, have the option to lower the sugar or completely delete it.

In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients.

I made a “well” in the dry ingredients before adding in the wet ingredients.  You can hand mix the ingredients – but I found it to be kinda lumpy – so I used an electric mixer.

Make the pancakes as you normally would — this recipe makes thin pancakes (almost like a cross between a pancake and a crepe).  I used medium heat, a non stick skillet and I used better before each pour.

These holiday pancakes have a subtle pumpkin taste and are definitely not strong (which I love).  This was such a hit with the teenagers and even the hubby (who is not a big lover of sweets).

After posting a photo to my Facebook stories – I already have friends asking for a pumpkin themed brunch date.
