Pumpkin Pie Pancakes

OMG, where have I been for 21 days? I wish I could say that I had been somewhere exciting and done some insane thing. The reality is that regular old life had gotten in the way of things.

I had wanted to bake something inspired by the fall weather. I know it's fall because it's almost October, but you'd be wrong. Go ahead and take a look outside. It's been in the high 90's here in So. California.

Seriously. Somebody hand summer her "pink slip" because she has stayed well past her welcome.

I am ready for fall's cool mornings. Mornings filled with coffee and something sweet.

I have had muffins on the mind for awhile now. Ever since my friend Katie sent me a set of gorgeous muffin cases. I stare at them every night and say "...soon I will bake something delicious." So, I have been patiently awaiting the entry of fall.

I guess fall is going to be fashionably late here. Until fall makes his grand entrance I give you pumpkin pancakes. Yes, no oven required, yet packed full pumpkin pie taste.

Yay! I loved your post and those pumpkin pancakes look delicious. What a yummy weekend breakfast :)

BTW, what do you mean by a "pink slip" for summer? I'm not familiar with that phrase.

Annemarie said...

Welcome back. Hope you're feeling refreshed (despite the heat). LOVE the pancakes - sadly, it's been fall here since the end of spring, and this week I found myself eyeing up my cans of pumpkin wondering what to do with them. I think I have an answer.

Gigi said...

Hi Katie,

"pink slip" is an american term that refers to one being fired.

It certainly feels more autumnal on the east coast, so delicious pumpkin pancakes would certainly be appreciated here. They sound great!

OK, I am going to have to try this recipe after my recent disaster with pancakes. and seriously, what is up with this weather! someone recently told me about the Santa Ana winds. i recently moved to the WC and this is a first for me. I long for a morning chill too!

Ivy said...

I am so glad you finally have something new up. Haha!

When I clicked on your link this time..I said to myself, "Those empty pans better not pop-up again." Haha. You were missed by me.

The pancakes look delicious. I will have to try them.

Stef said...

The pancakes look awesome. I love the recipes and especially the pics you post! Definitely try pumpkin chocolate chip cookies if you haven't already. I made these a month ago and they are like mini cakes with ooey gooey chocolate chips. Amazing. You can go to FoodNetwork.com and search for the recipe.

I'm really happy fall is finally here! The weather is still being a bit weird for us but the leaves are changing and it's beautiful. These pancakes look delicious! I love pumpkin anything.

Jodie said...

My husband doesn't like pumpkin but he's leaving town so maybe I'll make this while he's gone! :)

Half Baked said...

Honeyed Hashette said...

I just left you something sweet on my blog! Have a great weekend. :)

Unknown said...

delicious!!!!
thanks

Anna said...

Ohh I'm so in the mood for pancakes at the moment... sadly I've just moved into uni halls of residence and I can hear the cleaners in the kitchen right now, so I'd better wait a while. Looks like lunch!

Unknown said...

My husband and I made this recipe and it ROCKED! Thanks!

We tried making waffles with the left over batter, but it didn't taste as pleasurable as it did in pancake form.

From one pumpkin addict to another, love your blog!
