Pumpkin Pie Pancakes

Okay, I'll admit it, I am a SUCKER for pumpkin. Especially once September hits, I am ready for my fall favorite pumpkin recipes. My house smells of pumpkin pie, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin french toast, and when Coffeemate comes out with their holiday collection, I stock up on their Pumpkin Pie flavored creamer. I needed a new recipe this year though to add to my collection, and since breakfast is on the menu this week, I am adding pumpkin to a pancake recipe. Hmmmmm, maybe I'll even add chocolate chips and top them with whip cream.... oh, the goodness.

Pumpkin Pie Pancakes

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vinegar

Directions:
1. Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Stir the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine.
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
