Pumpkin Pancakes w.Coconut Cream Sauce & Roasted Hazelnuts

Are you ready for yet another pumpkin recipe to add to your collection for the fall season?

Today I’m sharing a delicious pancake recipe perfect for a cozy family brunch on a chilly fall weekend.

Some flavors work magically with sweet pumpkin when it comes to pumpkin recipes. Think nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger.

These spices give you that warm, fuzzy feeling and bring back memories of Christmases past.

Plus, they give your baked goods an extra flavor boost, allowing you to reduce the amount of sugar needed.

This recipe is based on my classic breakfast pancake recipe, but with a pumpkin twist.

To keep you full and energized throughout the day, I’ve swapped out the bananas for the sweetener, used oats instead of flour, and added extra egg whites for a good protein boost.

These pancakes make a luxurious brunch or even a delicious dessert with the addition of sweet ingredients like dates and maple syrup.

I have a soft spot for creamy textures and love to add sour cream, yogurt, frosting, sauces, and dressings to just about anything.

So for this pumpkin pancake recipe, I whipped up a creamy and dreamy coconut sauce.

It’s the perfect complement to any pumpkin dish and would be delicious with fresh fruit or as a topping for oatmeal.

And the toasted hazelnuts?

Optional but highly recommended.

Just make a big batch and keep them in a jar. You can use them on anything.

Trust me; it’s delicious!
