We love pancakes at our house. So in honor of Halloween I decided to try pumpkin pancakes. I searched the web for a great recipe and found one at Taste of Home that was lower in fat. I merged that with my favorite whole wheat pancake recipe and they were a big hit. Next time I think I’ll try adding diced apple to the recipe.

Pumpkin pancakes sound great! A while back I made Bobby Flay’s pumpkin french toast, which was good, but the pumpkin batter didn’t adhere that well to the bread, too think.
We’re pancake people too. Maybe a little maple butter on top? mmmm
