There are few better ways to start out a crisp autumn morning than with a pumpkin spice latte to go along with your pumpkin pancakes. This recipe from Joy the Baker featured on Refinery29 for pumpkin spice pancakes is a delicious and unexpected way to cook with pumpkin, especially for a delightful weekend breakfast.
Pumpkin spice has essentially exploded this year, which means you should enjoy it for all its worth this season before we're all sick of it this time next fall. A definite time and money saver, these fall flapjacks also mean you won't be waiting in the brunch line, as Refinery29 so astutely points out.
The pumpkin pancakes incorporate the all-important spice factor by integrating autumnally appropriate seasoning like cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg. They can be topped with whipped cream and cinnamon sugar (or classic maple syrup).
