Ok, so Fall isn't officially here yet. In fact, in my area it's been an unprecedented heat wave this week. However, everywhere I go shopping the fall decor is out and the pumpkins are everywhere. 

My son loves the fall, specifically Halloween (his favorite holiday). He also looooves his pancakes. One morning I was whipping up a batch on the griddle and decided to try to make some pumpkin shaped pancakes for him. Needless to say it was a hit! 

Using a 2oz ladle to carefully make a circle of batter on the griddle, and then a little batter "stem" couldn't be easier. If you wanted to make them a bit more adult in flavor I'm sure you could add some...ahhh, "pumpkin spice" to the mix or even fold in a little pumpkin puree for a deeper flavor. 

Happy fall everyone!
