Pumpkin Pancakes



It's a drizzly dreary Saturday, and I wanted some good fall comfort food. Inspired by a fellow pumpkin-loving colleague, I decided pumpkin pancakes were the route to go. They're a great pick me up on a lazy weekend morning full of warm autumn flavours and a fluffy, almost cake like consistency. Thankfully, though, they're not too sweet, and not too indulgent either (tried to keep it as healthy as possible, with even some ground flax thrown in for added benefits). Could there be a better combination than pumpkin, real, local maple syrup and pecans?
