Breakfast For Dinner

I normally never eat breakfast. In fact, it's like pulling teeth to get me to, so I usually just sip a protein shake or have a smoothie instead.

Last night I was craving breakfast foods, and decided to start my hunt for what to make.

I was browsing Heather's blog and found Pumpkin Pancakes. I had some left over pumpkin and decided to give it a go!



They turned out so yummy! not too sweet at all, and just enough flavor.

We also made some scrambled eggs and very crunchy bacon.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. ground allspice
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp. vinegar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, eggs, oil, vinegar, and vanilla.

2. In a separate, larger bowl, combine the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and spices.

3. Add pumpkin/milk mixture into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.

4. Heat a lightly oiled (I use nonstick spray) griddle or skillet over medium high heat. Pour or scoop batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.


We had quite a few left over so we let the dog have some put them in a zip lock and stuck them in the freezer. I think we should be able to pop them in the toaster next time we're craving pancakes.
