It's finally October, bring on all of the pumpkin laced goodies!!! My crew has been patiently awaiting their first taste of pumpkin bliss and last weekend I decided it was time to reward them with a killer recipe for pumpkin butter pancakes.
Early last fall I made pumpkin butter in the slow cooker for the first time. It was so easy and made such a huge batch that we wound up spiking everything we could think of with the essence of pumpkin. We replaced the jelly on our pb&j's with pumpkin butter, we stirred it into cocktails and we obviously slathered it on biscuits religiously. It was a very tasty season that I intend to repeat this fall!
]Since my family's favorite Saturday morning ritual is indulgent stacks of hotcakes my first pumpkin butter laced treat this year just had to be pancakes. I love how much richer the pumpkin flavor is in these cakes, just by using the pumpkin butter instead of the more traditional choice of pumpkin puree. I didn't need to add a ton of spices to the mix to get the flavor to pop either, because it was all already in the pumpkin butter!
I think these just might be my favorite pumpkin indulgence ever, especially when sprinkled with toasted pecans, crispy coconut bacon and a healthy drizzle of warm maple syrup!

Don't have the time to make your own pumpkin butter? Trader Joe's sells jars of it this time of year. Do yourself a favor though and grab a couple of them because they sell out fast!
