Pumpkin Pancakes is my kids most requested breakfast,
Pumpkin Pancakes are our absolute favorite fall breakfast that usually becomes our Saturday morning staple all season. Of all the pancake recipes I've made over the years, I look forward to these ones the most. They're still quick to throw together, but they feel extra special. And don't skip that cinnamon syrup, it takes them completely over the top. I can't wait for you guys to try it!

How to make Pumpkin Pancakes:
Make Pancake Batter: Combine the wet ingredients in a mixing bowl and the dry ingredients in a separate mixing bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until combined (don't over-mix, a few lumps are fine).
Cook: Drop a scoop of the batter on a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Flip only once when you see bubbles on the surface.
Serve: Make the simple 5 minute cinnamon syrup in a saucepan, then serve with the warm pancakes. The combo is absolutely incredible and makes the perfect Fall breakfast!
