Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes
Makes: 12 to 14 3-4 inch pancakes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total time: About 30 minutes
Ingredients:
Pancakes:
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- A sprinkle of cinnamon
- ½ cup chopped pecans - plus more for garnish if you like
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup dairy or nut milk (we used almond)
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
Caramel Sauce:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- ? cup heavy cream
Instructions:
- Heat your griddle to medium - it’s ready when a few drops of water sizzle as soon as they hit.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and pecans together in a large bowl.
- Add the eggs, milk, maple syrup and pumpkin puree and mix well.
- Using a ¼ cup scoop, drop batter on hot, lightly buttered griddle and cook - about 30 seconds per side. They’re ready to flip when the edges look dry and bubbles appear in the center.
- For the caramel sauce:
- Whisk the brown sugar and corn syrup together in a medium, heavy bottomed sauce pan over low heat until the sugar is completely melted.
- Add the butter and continue to whisk until the butter is melted and incorporated.
- Add the heavy cream and whisk until the caramel is smooth and thickens slightly. Keep warm until you’re ready to drizzle on pancakes!
- Serve ‘em up! Top with caramel and chopped pecans.
Recipe Notes:
You can make these gluten free by subbing buckwheat or almond flour - or a mix of the two - for the all purpose flour. They also work well with whole wheat flour!
