I am downright giddy this morning.
The sun is finally here and the temperature is warm! And it is supposed to stay this way for the Thanksgiving weekend.
I feel like running a marathon.
Ok, maybe not a full marathon, but I am excited for my run today. ;)
Yesterday I got out for a 4 mile run and it was glorious. If there is one thing I have learned it is that no matter how gloomy the weather, getting outdoors will always boost my mood! I felt amazing after my run yesterday (and no falls).
This morning I had some pancake business to take care of after yesterday’s debacle…
Meet yesterday:
Don’t ask.
Meet today:
The angels are singing, can you hear them?
Spiced Up & Stacked Pumpkin Butter Pancakes For One
Adapted from my healthy Spelt Pancakes For One
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup stone ground Kamut flour (or flour of choice)
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon + dash of nutmeg + dash ginger
- 1/2 tbsp sugar
- Pinch sea salt
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- Pecans
- Homemade Pumpkin Butter
Directions: Grease and preheat a skillet on the stovetop. In a medium sized bowl, mix the dry ingredients (baking powder, flour, sugar, sea salt, spices). In a small bowl mix the wet ingredients (vanilla, almond milk, coconut oil (melted). Add wet to dry and whisk well. Pour less than 1/4 cup per pancake and cook until bubble form. Flip and cook until golden on the opposite side. Layer with Homemade Pumpkin Butter and pecans and sprinkle with coconut. Serves 1.
I’m seriously addicted to this Homemade Pumpkin Butter.
At each meal, I ask myself: Is there any way I can somehow incorporate pumpkin butter? ;)
These were incredibly delicious.
Today is the last day for voting in the Project Food Blog Challenge #3. I would greatly appreciate your support in carrying me into the next round!
I’m off to bake up my orders and hopefully cap the work day with some much needed paper work and some last minute baking for Thanksgiving.
Have a great day! :)
i LOOOVE everything about Fall, all those pictures are amazing, love those colors.
Those look delicious! I’m so very obsessed with any fall flavor right now. I made your pumpkin gingerbread vegan overnight oats the other day and almost died and went to heaven. I can only imagine how delicious these pancakes are!
You’re so right about getting yourself out for a run- it ALWAYS makes me feel better. I never come back from a run in a huff or angry. Gotta love those endorphins! :)
I LOVE this quote “I never come back from a run in a huff or angry”
SO SO true
Every morning I am asking myself how I incorporate pumpkin too! It’s just way too delicious!
Can never get enough pumpkin! =)
Holy smokes, those look amazing!!! I LOVE the way you photographed them with fall leaves and gourds. I aspire to taking food shots for my blog as nice as these are!!!
It’s crazy to think that your Thanksgiving is so much earlier than ours! You’re getting me in the mood for stuffing and I know I still have to wait another month! Thaaaaaaanks ;)
These pancakes look gorgeous! I bet they tasted pretty, too… pretty nutritious, that is!
Those look DIVINE!!!! Yum!
I am not getting sick of all the pumpkin!! LOVE IT!
your photos melt my heart Angela!
Your pancakes are absolutely stunning! Love the fall leaves too.
Happy Thanksgiving Ange!! Here’s to more beautiful weather
Those pancakes are seriously a work of art..how could you eat them!?? Oh yes, that’s right, the pumpkin butter :) I just got myself a jar of Trader Joe’s version and am seriously in love, its soo good!
Those stack of pancakes just look…incredible! omg wow!!
Hope you have a super day and good luck with getting all your work done. Ugh. Piles of papers to push are not as fun as the piles of pancakes :)
Holy YUM! I’m totally drooling over these! I am going to have to make your pumpkin butter ASAP. I am equally obsessed with fall and agree that everything must have some sort of pumpkin twist to it! :)
I am so incredibly sorry! I apologize, I live in NYC, and this wholeeeee time, I was thinking, “Wow, she is preparing for thanksgiving a month early! She must really love thanksgiving.” And then today in your post, you mentioned that thanksgiving is this weekend… and I googled it, and I am so sorry! I thought you were slightly crazy ;) enjoy your thanksgiving! And pumpkin butter is absolutely amazing, I bought the one in trader joes when they were in stock, but I shall make a homemade batch soon :)
I picked up some pumpkin butter from the orchard farmhouse when I went apple picking last weekend. I had never heard of it before, but I knew immediately I had to try it. I think I’ll be slathering some on my next stack of pancakes :)
JUST made your balsamic dressing for the first time and I cannot wait to eat it up tonight. Maybe tomorrow I’ll hit up those pancakes!! Yummmmmm
Wow girl.. those look AMAZING! And I think I need to try my hand at homemade pumpkin butter..
I’m pretty sure I can hear those angels singing!
Those pancakes are making me drool!
Love the background scenery taken with the pancakes. Fall has arrived :)
I love bouncy mornings :) They make getting up and hitting the gym or pavement that much more enoyable! Good to see you had a pancake success- they look delicious! Although, I’d still happily eat the stuck-to-the-pan version, too ;)
Theses look amazing!
Sunshine always perks me up, no matter the temperature. But a string of grey days gets me down every time.
I am so obsessed with pumpkin anything as of late, as well. I’m actually eating some pumpkin pie overnight oats as I type! I’m definitely going to have to have some pumpkin for dessert, too, and these pancakes look like a lovely idea for breakfast tomorrow!
Gorgeous photos of your breakfast.
Q: Do you think I can make cupcakes from the pumpkin gingerbread recipe you posted the other day? I really want to try it!
Wish I had time to make these in the morning! Maybe this weekend…
wow, your pancakes look soooooo good! Mine NEVER turn out like that! But I shall try again this weekend…mm pancakes on the brain now
how come your pancakes looks SO much better than mine?!? I want to eat the computer screen.
Canada has there Thanksgiving a lot sooner then the us. Those pancakes look amazing, second times the charm.
Angela,
Those pancakes look excellent!
I don’t know if you’ve done it before, but I tried adding a tablespoon (heaping) of canned pumpkin, a dash of ginger, and a dash of nutmeg to your single serving spelt pancake recipe, and it was amazing! So amazing it’s been my breakfast for three days straight. Worth a try if you haven’t done it already. Especially good with walnuts as a topping.
Oh my goodness!!! I’m making these ASAP! :)
Those photos are absolutely perfect. You are a superstar.
You’ve inspired me to try out your pumpkin butter recipe! I got a pie pumpkin in this week’s CSA, so trying out your recipe with fresh pumpkin! Great photos as well!
I love how your table is still decorated!
Have you ever attempted to make pumpkin butter using fresh pumpkin?
I know it’s a lot more laborious, but canned pumpkin does not exist in my neck of the woods.
These look amazing!!
Oh my goodness – had to tell you i just made your Pumpkin Gingerbread cake! While it was cooling, I was finishing up my yoga for the night and, OH MY, I was loving all those deep breathes with the smell of pumpkin gingerbread in the air :)
Love the photos! Pancakes look delicious!!!
Your pictures are just fantastic, they belong in a glossy magazine!!
Wow! Those look amazing! and only made for one!? I’m about to dig in on that plate of pancakes! Yumm!
So creative and gorgeous! I’m going to try a version of this on Saturday! xo
I just made these! They are incredible :D.
Just made these for breakfast this morning – its not even fair how delicious they are!! Thanks Angela!!
Hi Angela,
In the last few weeks I have been having so much fun trying your recipes, with much success! I tried these pancakes this morning, with almond flour instead of kamut. The pumpkin butter turned out delicious. The pancakes however totally fell apart. Do you think it is the almond flour that did me in? They tasted good, but just did not stick together at all.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Dana
