Granted, I’m not a pumpkin spice latte lover like 99.9% of America, but I do LOVE pumpkin spiced desserts and even savory pumpkin recipes like pumpkin burgers and pumpkin grits. (YUM!!!)

    1. Hi Maryann! Are you referring to the little photo collage in the beginning? Those photos are of my pumpkin bread, veggie burger, cupcakes, roasted potatoes with pumpkin sauce, muffins, and pumpkin grits. I do have a regular pancake recipe here but I don’t have a recipe for pumpkin pancakes on the site yet because I typically eyeball my pumpkin measurements (I usually have a small calico kitten trying to get the pumpkin off the spoon before I can add it, lol) but I will try to write it up and get them on the blog soon!

      In the meantime my friend Jessica has a pumpkin pancake recipe on here blog, The Novice Chef! Hope this helps! xoxo

  1. great if you happened to overstock (yes even pumpkin puree) over last months or even lasst Thanksgiving, I can use these, love the Brown Butter Pumpkin Grits recipe especially, thank you!
