True Story: I tried pumpkin for the first time last year. Yep.
You don’t become the “pickiest human” by trying all the foods along the way… and pumpkin is just one of a long list of foods that I haven’t ever tried. Someday, I may share a bigger list of these foods. I text back and forth with a friend last week about it and she found it fascinating… so, who knows? It could happen. Although, you’d have to promise me that you wouldn’t take me through a round of “try it, you’ll like it.” Hmmm….
So, I’m a fan of pumpkin treats, and it seems like I’m EVEN MORE into them this year than last year! I whipped up these pancakes last weekend, and they are seriously AMAZING.
These pancakes are INCREDIBLE. Spicy, fluffy, filling… You can’t go wrong with them. I also love that they don’t have eggs in them. I don’t usually have eggs in my fridge unless I’m baking… so, an egg-free pancake is the best. Especially when it tastes like this!
