What could be better on a crisp fall morning than my own creation of Pumpkin Pie Pancakes served with hot Pumpkin Maple Syrup?  Pumpkin Pie Pancakes for dinner!  Trust me, these pancakes are worth the effort!  And serving pancakes for dinner once a week is another Frugal Friday tip!

For the pancakes:

Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees. While griddle preheats, make the pancake batter.

Combine and sift the flour, baking powder, soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Set aside.

Combine the pumpkin, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and melted butter in another bowl. Then combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients.

Pour 1/2 cup batter for each pancake onto preheated griddle. Cook 1-2 minutes on each side (or until golden brown), flipping only once. Serve with hot Pumpkin Maple Syrup with a dollop of real whipping cream. Garnish with cinnamon and nutmeg.

For the Pumpkin Maple Syrup:

In a medium saucepan add 2 cups Maple Syrup and 2 cups canned pumpkin. Stir with a whisk and cook over medium high heat until mixture begins to boil. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and keep syrup warm until pancakes are ready to serve.

Makes 12 6″ pancakes.
