Pumpkin Pancakes with Apple Cider Syrup

As promised from my post last week, I wanted to share with you this AMAZING recipe I found at Real Mom Kitchen.  I love her blog, by the way.  Every week when I plan meals I check out her blog for ideas and usually grab a recipe or two for the week.  And last week I saw her Pumpkin Patch Pancakes with Apple Cider Syrup!  I am totally in a pumpkin mood!  I may have had pumpkin muffins for breakfast and these pumpkin pancakes for lunch today...So good!

But really these pancakes and syrup are delicious!  Here's the recipe.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

Syrup:

1 cup sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 

4 cups apple juice or apple cider ( I used apple juice)

Pancakes:

Mix up your favorite pancake mix according to package directions. For every cup of dry mix used, mix in the following:

¼ cup canned pumpkin

½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice

(We used 2 cups of pancake mix, so 1/2 cup of pumpkin and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice)

Instructions

To make the syrup - In a sauce pan mix together, sugar, cornstarch, and pumpkin spice. Stir in apple juice or apple cider. Bring to a boil, remembering to stir occasionally. Boil until desired thickness and remove from heat.  

We probably let it boil for about 5 minutes.  It also makes a ton of syrup.  We made pancakes two different days (yeah they're that good) and had plenty of syrup for both. 

To make the pancakes - Prepare pancake mix according to package directions. Then for every cup of mix used, add ¼ cup canned pumpkin and ¼ tsp pumpkin spice. 

Cook pancakes and serve with the apple cider syrup.
