Pumpkin Pancakes with Peanut Butter Syrup (Autumn Calabrese)

Autumn shared this recipe on her facebook the other day and I knew that I just had to make these pancakes!  It's almost time for fall and these sound delicious!  I will be making them this weekend to eat for next week and as soon as I make them, I will post a pic and share with you how they are!

This recipe also includes a syrup recipe.  I haven't decided if I am going to make this syrup yet or not, but you could certainly substitute maple syrup or even a dusting of cinnamon sugar instead!

For Syrup:
½ cup ​​​pure maple syrup
¼ oz. ​​​bittersweet chocolate, chopped (approx. 2 tsp.)
2 tsp. ​​​all-natural peanut butter

For Syrup:
1. Combine maple syrup, chocolate, and peanut butter in a blender; cover. Blend for 30 seconds.

3. Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture; and whisk just until a smooth batter forms. Set aside.
4. Heat a nonstick (or cast iron) skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat with spray; wipe out with a clean paper towel so that only the thinnest layer of spray remains.
