Remember those Pumpkin Snickerdoodles I shared with you and they used only part of a can on pumpkin? That pumpkin has been staring at me every time I open the fridge saying, “Use me, Use me!” So what was a girl to do but use that pumpkin up!

It was a rainy and dreary day and I was in the mood for some soup or breakfast for supper sounded great too. Have you noticed my obsession with breakfast foods lately? Then I remember the pumpkin that kept staring me down and I started thinking. That thinking led to Tasty Kitchen because I knew there had been a pumpkin pancake recipe that interested me there. Yes I ventured out of the Pinterest world for a moment. Don’t worry it will quickly suck me back in. I can go there a delete all the other pumpkin pancake recipes that I “pinned” previously because this one is on the only one I’ll ever need.

  MY OTHER RECIPES

I think the trick with this recipe is the beating of the eggs whites. Make sure you beat them a long time and they form stiff peaks. I used this mixer to achieve this.  Then carefully fold the eggs into the batter mixture. The eggs are light and fluffy and this keeps the batter this way.

Once again I’m not a big fan of pumpkin, but I’m starting to wonder if it’s actually just pumpkin pie that I’m not a big fan of. I think it’s the texture that gets me with the pie. It’s just mushy. I’m not a big fan of mushy. These pumpkin pancakes are light and fluffy with a bit of spice and pumpkin. Amazing. They scream fall and I’m all about fall with the weather we’ve been having lately. It sounds like we might get a reprieve this weekend so I think I’ll send the hubby to the grill again. I have to take these opportunities while they exist because I’ll be back at the cooking 100% during winter!

So if you already tried those cookies use up some of that extra pumpkin in your fridge and make these pancakes. Or you could always start with the pancakes and use up that leftover pumpkin with the cookies. Whichever suits your fancy. Enjoy!
