Pumpkin Spice Pancakes 

Morning, pumpkin! Our best-ever buttermilk pancakes get a new flavor for fall. That's right: It's time for all things pumpkin spice.

Our Pumpkin Spice Pancakes are a surefire way to brighten up any dreary fall morning. If you've been wondering what to do with that extra can of pumpkin puree in the back of your pantry, look no further than the breakfast table. With a delicate pumpkin flavor and just a hint of the pumpkin pie spice, these pancakes are subtle and balanced. They gain a lovely orange hue from the canned pumpkin and a light, fluffy texture from the buttermilk. A drizzle of maple syrup takes these sweet, seasonal pancakes over the edge. We have a feeling that this quintessential fall breakfast will be on repeat in your household.

We have a few ways spruce up your stack, making it lighter and healthier. Boost the protein by replacing the buttermilk with the same amount of plain Greek yogurt thinned with a little water or milk. Embrace whole grains by swapping out half or all of the all-purpose flour for white whole-wheat or regular whole-wheat. Or add extra fiber by stirring 1 Tbsp. flax seed meal or wheat germ (or finely chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts) into the batter.
