(It’s been a while since I’ve posted a new recipe. My husband just returned from 2 weeks in Africa, so I devoted last week to spending some time with him. Now that he’s back, I have all the more reason to cook up a storm and share some favorites with my readers!)

I love, love, LOVE these pancakes from allrecipes.com! If you toss in some chocolate chips, then I love them even more. Drizzled with hot maple syrup and covered in sweetened whipped cream, this is my all time favorite winter breakfast. Make these using canned or home cooked pumpkin. This usually makes about 8-10 pancakes for us, meaning leftovers for the next day!

pumpkin pancakes

1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vinegar

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
several handfuls of chocolate chips

Mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt.

Stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. (One tip is to spray your measuring cup with cooking spray so that that batter drops nicely into your pan.)

If adding chocolate chips (and you should!!!) do so now. You may want to put a little extra batter over the chocolate chips to keep them from burning when you flip the pancake.

When it starts to bubble, flip and cook until the center is no longer gooey.

Serve with hot maple syrup and whipped cream.

Oh are these good!! We just had them for lunch. As predicted, Ben went crazy; he ate 4 or 5. Maggie & I ate our share too. We had yogurt mixed with maple syrup on the side – yum yum yum.
