This time a year, I always get excited for pumpkins to once again start gracing every day food...a morning cup of coffee gets replaced by a pumpkin spice latte (a serious weakness of mine). That crunchy afternoon snack is now a handful of pumpkin seeds. I even start mixing a scoopful of pureed pumpkin into my oatmeal, along with a little cinnamon, nutmeg and walnuts for a comforting breakfast.
I saw this recipe for Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes on Chew Out Loud and was excited to give it a try one weekend soon. How good do these look!?
But as this Fall has been particularly busy, I haven't had the time, or the flax meal, needed to pull this together. I was intrigued to see Trader Joe's carried a pumpkin pancake mix, and on a whim I picked it up.
Um...it's pretty ridiculous. First of all, it's super easy and quick to prepare. But the pancakes themselves are so delicious and moist, we've since gone back to TJ's to stock up on more.
I'm thinking a "pancake-off" might be in order between the mix and the from-scratch version soon...as long as I can find the time that is :)
