Pumpkin Oat Pancakes with Caramelized Apples and Pecan Topping

Pumpkin Oat Pancakes with Caramelized Apples and Pecan Topping

Oh… yum… these were so good!  And just PERFECT for a Fall breakfast.

And they are easy!

Here is what you need:

For about 8-10 good size pancakes:

3 cups  of pancake mix

1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp cloves

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1/8 tsp ginger

1 cup of canned pumpkin

1 egg

3/4 cups oats

2 1/2 cups water (or more or less according to your desired consistency)

Mix the pancake mix and spices together.  Add the pumpkin and the egg and mix together.  Add the oats.  Then add the water until it gets to a thick but pancake-like consistency.  Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup, scoop mixture onto a medium- hot griddle with melted butter on it. This is a thick mixture so don’t cook it on too high of a temperature so the insides have time to cook.

 

For the topping:

Peel and cut up 3 apples (I used Gala).  Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat with 2 T butter.  Add the apples.  Cook until the outsides are caramelized.  Add to the top of pancakes with chopped pecans and maple syrup.
