The other day I made some pumpkin bread and I had some extra pumpkin puree left. Our family loves pumpkin bread, but I wanted to use the extra pumpkin to try something new.
What to make with it? I only had a 1/2 cup left. Don’t you just hate that, when you only have a little bit left. I hate to just throw it away! So, of course, I started looking on Pinterest and came across pumpkin pancakes recipes. The one I chose to try out was from Glued to My Crafts. Sometimes, when reading a recipe you just seem to know that the ingredients go together. This one sounded pretty good.
I gathered my ingredients together and proceeded to mix the batter. Make sure you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix. They are 2 different things.
When I spoon the batter onto the griddle I also like to sprinkle a little cinnamon on the top of the batter. We love our cinnamon around here. Cook over medium heat on both sides until browned.
Serve with warm syrup. I also happened to have some whipped cream in my refrigerator, so I also put a dollop of on top with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.
Delicious!!!!
