It's cold this morning…there's a freeze on the cars outside. Inside, we're cuddled in blankets and making Pumpkin Pancakes. I usually double this recipe and we make a bunch to freeze. Then, on busy mornings, we reheat them in the toaster or microwave.

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, spices and salt.
Combine egg, milk and puree/oil; add all at once to flour mixture, stirring until blended but slightly lumpy.

Making pancakes from scratch really doesn't take a lot more time than using a mix. If you keep the ingredients on hand regularly, you get the hang of it! If this looks too complicated for you, try my more basic recipe Whole Wheat Pancakes. This Pumpkin Pancakes recipe is linked up to Balancing Beauty and Bedlam's Tasty Tuesday.
