    Pumpkin pancakes with caramel pecan sauce

    I love weekends for many reasons, especially because that's when I have time to make something special for breakfast, such as these pumpkin pancakes with caramel sauce and pecans. I am using a tested recipe for pumpkin pancakes and dressing them up a bit with a good caramel sauce - it's such a tasty and pretty combination, and it's perfect for a Thanksgiving breakfast or brunch!

    With the caramel sauce dripping along the sides of pancakes, you'll definitely want to lick your plate. Caramel + pecans + pumpkin do go really well together! Taking these photos was not an easy task - I had to exercise a lot of self-restraint.

    This is such a gorgeous breakfast, and very easy to make too, if you use the right kind of store-bought caramel sauce or dulce de leche sauce.

      This looks great and I want to try them. Do you have a recipe for caramel sauce perhaps? I prefer to make my own. Thank you

      I have to say they do look good, but I tried this recipe and the recipe is terrible. The batter is way too thick and even when you thin it out with more milk and spread it thinner on the griddle with a spatula you still get a raw uncooked inside. I have to say I spent a lot of time as well as the rest of my milk and flour on this this morning and I didn't get a single good pancake from this. I followed the directions and measurements exactly (I also make regular pancakes several times a week so this really wasn't a case of a beginner not knowing what they are doing)

        Anna, sorry to hear about your pancakes! I think what happened is you packed too much flour into your measuring cups, when measuring, which resulted in the pancake batter being too dense. I usually sift and aerate the flour when measuring - it ensures I don't accidentally measure out more than I need. I think that was the problem here. These are actually some of my most favorite pancakes, and the recipe works great for me, but my pancake batter was not dense, and, as you can see from the photos, the pancakes were thin, not thick. So, next time - SIFT AND AERATE YOUR FLOUR to ensure that your pancake batter is thinner.

      Yum! I really enjoyed this recipe very much. I like to experiment, so I think I want to try this with applesauce and make my dulce de leche a bit thinner next time.

        Tamara, thank you for stopping by and glad you liked them! By the way, I just posted a recipe with these pancakes + cooked apples - sort of like your idea of trying these with apple sauce. here is the recipe: pumpkin pancakes with spiced apple topping.
