Pumpkin Pancakes

I'm gonna eat choo!

Halloween is pretty much the funnest cooking holiday. Boy does my roommate get sick of the pumpkin I manage to integrate into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. :) Her scream of delight when she saw these little breakfast jack-o-lanterns probably scared me more than anything else on Halloween. These are super fun to make and have an amazing pumpkin spice flavor too! Make 'em for your kids. Make them WITH your kids!

2 cups flour

3 TBSP brown sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp allspice

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 cups milk

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 egg

2 TBSP vegetable oil

2 TBSP vinegar

*1/4 cup chocolate chips (depending on how you want to decorate)

*Green and orange food coloring

Combine all ingredients but pumpkin, chocolate chips, and food coloring. Mix well. Add pumpkin and mix just until combined. Take 1/4 cup of batter in a small bowl and mix in desired amount of green food coloring for the pumpkin stems. Mix in orange food coloring in the big bowl. Prepare your griddle. Take 1/4 cup of orange batter and immediately place about 1/2 tsp of green stem on top. Creatively place your chocolate chips and fry until golden brown on both sides!
