Remember the huge can of pumpkin I purchased? From the same ginormous tin, I have made a veritable bounty of pumpkin goods: pumpkin scones, pumpkin chip muffins, and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Finally, after fearing that I may have overdone the pumpkin obsession, I had just a few tablespoons left and decided to make pumpkin spice pancakes for breakfast.
Of all things that I enjoy cooking and eating, I've never been able to master pancakes. Think of the big, fluffy perfect pancakes served at your favorite breakfast joint. Mine? Well, not usually so fluffy and perfect.
I spotted this perfect Martha Stewart-tweaked recipe on Baking and Books. I further tweaked the recipe by trading out and adding some spices. Though the pumpkin taste wasn't overwhelming, I was still happy to have made fluffy pancakes that almost look pretty! The house smelled wonderfully spicy and delicious.
Finally, thanks to Brea from The Boyd Team for giving me the Kreativ Blogger award. I feel so honored! Her blog is a playground of her adventures in remodeling her house, FANTASTIC shopping deals, and tips on saving money. She can cook, too! What a lady :) Thanks again!

I went to a pancake restaurant last night for dinner and tried a bite of my friend's pumpkin pancakes. They were delicious - I'll have to make them from your recipe!
Those pancakes look delish! Mr. Tall loves anything pumpkin but is for some inexplicable reason a skeptic on pumpkin pancakes. This looks like it should change his mind :]
Those are some nice looking pancakes! I too have tons of canned pumpkin left so keep the ideas coming!
What do you mean by "they almost look pretty"?! They do look pretty! And fat and fluffy and yummy!
Those are so fluffy! Yum.
I think you've mastered them...sounds delicious too. I love putting pumpkin in breakfast!
They look perfect.
I'm jealous of your pancakes, I couldn't make pancakes to save my life for years! Then my hubby came home with a griddle and I was able to make them with out burning them, it's a start anyway!! LOL!
those are VERY fluffy and I love the money shot!
i'm fairly certain that there isn't any pancake in the world that i wouldn't love, as long as ample maple syrup was provided. excellent pumpkin use--minimal syrup required. :)
Great way to use up your pumpkin. I love pumpkin pancakes!
Made them this morning for my bride but used kosher salt which did not dissolve in the batter. Other wise they were excellent.
Ohhh I made those this past weekend and they were so good. It was first batch. I have yet to post it though. Wasn't the smell amazing? So good with a hot cup of coffee.
Can I use them as my pillows?? Then eat them while I'm having sweet dreams?!
That looks sooo good. I love pumpkin and I love pancakes.
Your pancakes look delicious, I love anything with pumpkin in it.

WOW! Those pancakes look fantastic. I love the first picture.
Those pancakes look great, are you kiddin' me? I like the idea of the pumpkin too.
I recently tried pumpkin pancakes and loved them!! Yours look delish!
How great it would be to have these grilling away in the morning when you wake up! They look so incredibly fluffy and inviting. I should pass this along to my mom for when we go home for Thanksgiving :-)
I love pumpkin pancakes oozing with maple syrup. Wish I could magically have those on my table right now!
i'm not to look to see if i already commented on these pancakes. if i did, it's okay b/c they deserve another accolade. you made them look so appealing like we should have no worry about calories and carb intake!
