Pumpkin Pancakes with Dates & Pecans.
Today I woke up with the idea of making pumpkin pancakes and this is what we got: the most decadent and moist pancakes ever.
After my successful Pumpkin Risotto I wanted to experiment whatever could be made with pumpkin puree.
More than the flavor (pumpkins are pretty neutral and will embrace whatever you use to enhance them), I wanted to do something colorful…Because of the pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread, I know pumpkin matches with cinnamon, nutmeg and molasses, so I put all those ingredients together, plus some allspice and chopped dates to create this luscious breakfast.
Finally, I topped them with toasted pecans!The unanimous verdict was: delicious! And then: “delicious, go and post it”.
It took me a while because it was warm, sunny and we were planning and planting our winter garden… so today was a lucky day!
Here is my recipe. I hope you like it!
