We are in full pumpkin season here in the southern USA and I love to use pumpkin puree in soups, risottos and of course on sweet things like pies, pumpkin butter or Cheesecake. Here, they are a breakfast meal, but for me, they are more like a quick bread to eat with a cup of tea.
I love them with maple syrup, whipped cream, and chopped nuts as pictured. If you have never made pancakes I recommend you do, is fast and they always work.
