Pumpkin Pancakes

It's Fall. Which means.. there's pumpkin. PUMPKIN! Yay!! 

( I took this photo last Fall )

Since this is my absolute favorite season, I take full advantage of using pumpkins in recipes and experimenting with it. Can't blame a gal for trying, right?

This morning, I tried making some Pumpkin Pancakes and they came out AWESOME! We even tried making some Pumpkin Sauce (yum!).

Here's the recipe for you :) 

 Pancake Ingredients:

• 2 cups self rising flour
• 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
•  2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup Libby's® 100% Pure Pumpkin
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 
  

 Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl. In a seperate bowl, combine milk, pumpkin, egg and vegetable; mix well. Add to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened; batter may be lumpy.IF you want thicker batter, use 1.5 cups of milk instead of 2 cups. 

We used a "Mini Whipper" in a 8qt. Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl. (Totally doable in a 6qt or even 4 qt mixing bowl).

 HEAT griddle or skillet over medium heat; brush lightly with vegetable oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle; cook until bubbles begin to burst. Turn and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with pumpkin sauce!

 To make the Pumpkin Sauce, you'll need these: 

Pumpkin Sauce Ingredients: 

• 1 cup maple syrup
• 1 1/4 cups LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

In a small sauce pan, heat 1 cup maple syrup, 1 1/4 cups Libby's® 100 Percent Pure Pumpkin and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice in small saucepan until warm. 

Once everything is all said and done...ta dah!
