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:

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

- 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? ;)

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! :)
The first picture in this posts sent shivers down my spine! It is SO beautiful. I love fall! This post reminded me of growing up in Vermont where the leaves are beautiful in the fall…That picture made me so happy!!
Oh my gracious those pancakes look absolutely splendid! And so do the leaves, I am in love!
OH my goodness. Those look delicious. Can I come over for breakfast? I love the trees and leaves and all the fall colors. Melt my heart!
I made these as soon as I read this post. They are so good, especially with the coconut oil added to the batter. I added choc. chips and bananas!
I am getting seriously hungry looking at these pancakes. Really giving me the extra incentive to make that pumpkin butter!
Your house seriously looks like Fall. I LOVE it!! Fall is seriously my fav season! I can almost smell the crisp air, pumpkin, and cinnamon coming from your house! haha
I made some cranberry cinnamon maple granola yesterday, and seriously, my house smelled like the holidays. That smell made me so happy inside!
I look forward to your posts every day! I wonder how these would’ve tasted with a little canned pumpkin in the batter?
I was thinking about doing that and I got side tracked by the pumpkin butter. :) Im sure it would be fab!
Wow, that breakfast sure beat mine ( Ezekiel low sodium bread with peanut butter)! I am planning on making a batch of the pumpkin butter this weekend and seriously can’t wait! I have been thinking of all the things I can put it on (kind of like you)!
I’ll be making these pancakes very soon! Looks perfect for the fall!
oh ang, you need to start a food magazine or have your own food network show!!!!!!!!!! these look so perfect!
That’s just not fair. My breakfast will not compare to this and you live too far away for me to force you to make me some ;)
I certainly didn’t wake up with such a good attitude this morning! It’s hard when I only have to be up super early two days a week and TODAY is one of those days. *yawn*
Those pancakes look absolutely delicious. You are brilliant at plating and photography.
Wow, those look perfect! I need some pumpkin butter ASAP! (love your pancake FAIL yesterday– that’s how mine look almost all the time!) LOL :)
I am so making these tomorrow morning. No classes = pancakes. Quick question, though, can I sub in something for the coconut oil??
Yup you can use any type of mild oil…olive oil would work well here.
canola oil too
Uhmm.. considering thanksgiving/autumn is my favorite time of year, and I don’t get to celebrate until next month, and all your food makes me drool, and your atmosphere is absolutely perfect, can i just come over and celebrate? hahaha these look AMAZING!
Fine by me, just bring pumpkin butter. I might run out….tomorrow. ;)
The pancakes look great with the fall leaves! You’re so awesome at food styling!
PANCAKE STACKERS! There’s just so much stuff you can stack them with. Mmmmmm. Amazing and so fall-y!
the angels are singing and i CAN here them! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (that was singing… :))
I have had the song ‘angels we have heard on high’ in my head all morning! LOL
Wow those leaves are gorgeous! As are the pancakes…I think I know what I’m having for breakfast Saturday :)
Your table looks so Fall-like! I love it!
