Pumpkin Pancakes with Maple Cinnamon Whipped Cream

Pumpkin-Pancakes 2

Once October arrived I had this “seasonal anxiety” to add pumpkin to everything… some things were better, and to be honest some things not so much.  But one pumpkin recipe I can always rely on for a celebration of the fall season are these pumpkin pancakes.
I usually don’t mess with the classics too much, but this time I wanted to add something a little extra… so I came up with maple cinnamon whipped cream! My husband pretty much had equal parts of whipped cream to pancake and honestly I barely got enough for myself!  The whipped cream balances out the spiciness of the pancake and is super easy to make!

I make this recipe every year for my team and family. It is always a hit!! Thank you:)

This makes me want to have breakfast for dinner – what a beautiful post! I used to live in Hoboken too, now I’m in Jersey City. How do you like San Fran?

These look great! I make a similar version, but I add dried cranberries and pecans on the uncooked side when they are on the skillet. It adds a nice texture and changes it up:)
