PUMPKIN SPICED PANCAKES

Category: Pancakes

Pecan Syrup
1 cup maple-flavored pancake syrup
5 tbsp pecans, toasted and chopped

Pancakes
1 cup buttermilk pancake mix
1 cup cold water
1/3 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
Butter, room temperature

Pecan Syrup: Combine maple syrup and pecans in small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave on high until hot, about 25 seconds. Set pecan syrup aside and keep warm.

Pancake: In a medium bowl, whisk pancake mix, water, pumpkin, cinnamon, and ginger until just blended (do not over mix; mixture should be lumpy).

Spray a heavy griddle with nonstick spray and heat griddle over medium heat. Spoon 2 tbsp of batter onto griddle to form each pancake. Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles appear, then turn pancakes over and cook for 2 minutes longer. Transfer pancakes to plates. Top with butter and serve with warm pecan syrup.
