Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes

What's a Saturday morning without homemade pancakes? I remember as a little girl, my dad making pancakes for my sister and me for breakfast on most Saturdays. And I LOVE pumpkin and I LOVE chocolate, so had to try them together. Turns out it was a de-licous combination! Saturday morning pancakes might have to become a tradition in this household... especially if they are pumpkin chocolate pancakes!

you can also many some yummy chocolate-filled crepes.

3. Pour batter onto griddle and using your spatula, spread batter out into a circle, making batter thin.

***Note*** In this picture, we drizzled with strawberry syrup. Mmmm!!

I see no problem with serving breakfast for dinner!! As we did last night.
