Wake Up To These Pumpkin Pancakes

In case you hadn’t noticed Snack Girl takes requests. Freebird!!! (cue lighter)
Not that kind of request! Anyway, I am continuing “Pumpkin Mondays” with an alteration of my favorite overnight pancake recipe. One of you requested that I try it and I am pretty happy with the results.
In my usual Overnight Pancake Recipe, I use yogurt to give a nice flavor. I replaced the yogurt with pureed pumpkin from a can and used a little more sugar to make it sweeter.
The result is a bright orange pancake with 66% of your daily value of Vitamin A and 7% of your daily value of iron. It does taste a bit like pumpkin pie!
I should warn you that when I took this out of the fridge it was GREEN. Yikes! The very top of the batter looked like something out of a horror movie. Oh no.... but, then I stirred it and it went away. I am thinking the top layer oxidized a bit and it didn’t affect the color or flavor in the end.
It is truly lovely to have pancake batter waiting for you in the morning. I find that I hop out of bed faster when I know that I am going to make a hot breakfast and all I have to do is heat the pan.
The house smells great and (sometimes) I don't have to wake my kids. They just wander out wondering what is cooking.
After all these weeks of pumpkin, you must have tried some by now. Have you tried to make any pumpkin recipes? How is it going?
