Recipe Wednesday: Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Pancakes

Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Pancakes

Well, today we start out our recipe day with a yummy breakfast. Personally, I would just make regular buttermilk pancakes and have chocolate chips that look like the eyes and smile. But this is the official recipe!

• Prep
  10 m
• Cook
  10 m
• Ready In
  20 m

Note: Again, I'm not a fan of pumpkin so I would get the Bisquick Buttermilk Pancake batter and make fresh buttermilk pancakes, then add the chocolate chips afterwards. That's just a side-suggestion!

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup quick cooking oats
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
•  1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Another note: I'd also use whipped cream and either candy corn or a cherry for something to add some more color!

Directions

• Stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, lightly beat together the milk, egg, pumpkin, and oil. Stir flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture, blending just until moistened.
• Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium high heat.
• Pour batter, 1/3 cup at a time, onto the prepared griddle. Make a jack-o-lantern face in each pancake with the chocolate chips. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 5 minutes per side.

Sounds delicious and exciting! If you try them let me know! Make sure and post a picture!
