Pumpkin Pancakes with Caramel Pecan Sauce - delicious Autumn pancakes smothered with caramel sauce and chopped pecans. Alternatively, you can use dulce de leche.
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.
