It’s no secret that Halloween my favorite holiday and I always like to do something a little special for it. My little girl is quite a pancake fiend. I would venture guess that she eats pancakes for breakfast just about every other morning. Except for Saturday; that is 'donut' day around here.

At any rate, with all the great pumpkin flavors going around this time of year, I thought it would be a great time to make a healthier pumpkin pancake!

No matter your age or pancake preference, these whole wheat pumpkin pancakes are a great way to start off any Fall morning! They are really easy to mix up and cook. Plus, they taste amazing with just a subtle hint of pumpkin and spice in there.

While these pancakes are easy enough to whip up any old morning, they are a pretty spectacular for Halloween or Thanksgiving morning as a 'special' sort of treat. It's something that adults and kids alike will love.

Seriously. Who doesn't like pancakes?

Thankfully, these are whole wheat and actually quite low in the calorie department. Plus, you know... pumpkin just makes everything better!

I topped mine with some butter, pecans, and maple syrup. But, some dried cranberries, walnuts, or chocolate chips would have been a nice addition too! Or maybe even some sort of festive fall granola.

My daughter, of course, prefers chocolate chips on hers.
