I have quite a bit of leftover pumpkin in the fridge right now. I only had a big, 28 ounce can in the pantry when I made the Chocolate Pumpkin Whoopie Pies, and that recipe only needed 1/4 cup of pumpkin. So, before I tossed the remainder into the freezer, I thought I would see what else I could use it for.
I remember seeing a Pumpkin pancake recipe on Jodie's blog, and I've never tried them before. I checked on All Recipes and this pancake recipe was highly rated, with 398 reviews and a 4.5 star rating. So, I decided to give it a try.
It's just me and the boys this weekend, as Marc is rock climbing with some friends in New Hampshire. Therefore, I scaled back the recipe to serve 3, which is one of the reasons I love All Recipes so much. Anyway, I wasn't sure how the boys would like these, since they can be pretty picky on any other morning. Much to my surprise, they both enjoyed them and Christian ate almost 2 of them!
I had 3, as I made these pancakes on the smaller side. I served them with a little bit of bacon, of course. It was a hearty, fall inspired and warm, flavorful breakfast served this morning, while the leaves blew off the trees in the rain.
Pumpkin Pancakes

There are just so many pumpkin ideas out there I want to go buy more cans of pumpkin so I can try them out! We used to be obsessed with the Aunt Jemima pancake mix.. I wonder how we feel about those now.. haha. Isn't it weird how it all changes after you start baking and cooking from scratch? Suddenly, everything tastes different from what you remember it being.
Those pancakes look nicely brown and I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe. I don't always have as much luck with allrecipes (even the highly rated ones). I think it's because people modify the recipe so much and then give it a rating that is no longer based on the original. I'm sure that was a very flavourful breakfast with the bacon too.. I love bacon dipped in maple syrup.. yum!
Cool! I've tried to make pumpkin pancakes before (modifying my regular pancake recipe), but mine didn't turn out quite right. I'm glad to see a review of a recipe that works. I love the top picture with the pumpkin. =)
I want to make these!! I just stocked up on some canned pumpkin so I'll make these for breakfast this week!
These look SO good. I think we are going to have them for lunch. :)
they look like perfect little circles of orange! i'm so glad you put your leftover pumpkin to use--i know several people who would've just tossed it. that's just unconscionable behavior--look what it could become! :)
Sounds like a perfect fall recipe to me. The bacon would be a nice savory addition, too!
I love pumpkin pancakes. I just made some last weekend. Yummy! I noticed that one of your favorite books is a Tree grows in Brooklyn. I couldn't put that one down. I picked it up during finals in college and needless to stay, I didn't study but read instead. It is a wonderful book, touching and important and hopeful.
these look great! how did you get the pancakes so perfectly round? anyway, head on over to my blog. my turn to share the love...i've got an award for ya!
I love pumpkin pancakes!
This is one of my favorite fall treats!
