Celebrate your morning with these delicious, sweet and spongy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes drizzled with maple Syrup and mixed berries.
Pumpkin in a pancake? Yes. Pumpkin in a pancake. For Breakfast. An amazing breakfast recipe that will trick (do we admit ti tricking our kids?) the fussiest child (or adult) into eating pumpkin.
If you haven’t tried these before, I know that adding a full cup of mashed pumpkin to your pancakes can be a bit daunting. I mean, Come on. It’s pumpkin. But is does work. Pumpkin is naturally sweet and works well as a dessert kind of food.
It’s also what makes these pancakes dense and decadent in texture.
There are so many times I put off trying a new recipe because I’m worried that it will be a waste, that the kids won’t eat it, or the husband won’t eat it.
I’ve even had recipes that the dog won’t eat. That’s saying something because my dog is famously unfussy. Having said that :) – this recipe is not one of those. Even my fussiest kids love these. Just do it. You will be happy with the results.
