Recipe Notes:
-
Pecan Syrup: The combination of maple syrup and pecans creates a delightful, nutty syrup that pairs perfectly with the pumpkin pancakes. Make sure to heat it until warm before serving.
-
Pumpkin Flavor: Canned pumpkin adds a rich, creamy texture and a burst of fall flavor to these pancakes. Look for 100% pure pumpkin puree for the best results.
-
Spice Blend: Ground cinnamon and ginger bring warmth and spice to the batter, enhancing the pumpkin flavor. Adjust the spices to your liking for a more pronounced taste.
-
Cooking Tips: To ensure fluffy pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter. It’s okay if it’s a bit lumpy; this will result in a lighter texture.
-
Serving Suggestions: Serve these Pumpkin Cinnamon Pancakes hot off the griddle with a generous drizzle of warm pecan syrup and a pat of butter. They’re perfect for a cozy autumn breakfast or brunch gathering.
-
Storage: Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the toaster or microwave before serving.
