Another great recipe from Vegan Brunch. I had actually planned to make my own pumpkin pancakes but my brain was just not functioning and the thought of figuring out yet another recipe completely eluded me that morning. So, I opened my trusty copy of Vegan Brunch and flipped straight to this recipe.

These were not what I expected. Once I whipped up the batter I gave it a quick taste test and I was shocked. It was spicy and sharp, not sweet at all. I added a few tablespoons of evaporated cane juice to sweeten everything up and then, once satisfied with the now slightly sweet taste, ladled the batter into the frying pan. The texture of these pancakes is extremely luscious and moist, absolutely dense with pumpkin and spice, not the fluffy and light pancakes you would usually think of. But they were good, in fact, as I took bite after bite, I realized that I really liked them! And they were the perfect way to start our Halloween weekend. My only regret is that I didn’t fill these with chocolate chips, the combination of chocolate and pumpkin is one of my favorite.
