The mix of spices like cinnamon & ginger and the pumpkin sweetness makes this quick pancake recipe the perfect fall breakfast.

We don't eat pancakes often at home, but it's something I usually have fun preparing on weekends, and I'm always on the hunt for new interesting flavor combinations.

Pumpkin Pancakes are very famous in US, but it's something we're familiar with in Italy, so I've never tried them until I moved to London. I recently tasted them in a small cafe' and I totally loved each bite. I thought it was about time to make them myself and share with you the recipe.

Today is also Shrove Tuesday ( Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras), which in other words, for Americans means Pancakes Day! And it sounds just the perfect time for trying out some a new pancake recipe.

These easy and quick pumpkin pancakes only require a bunch of simple ingredients you probably have already in your pantry, and ready in less than 15 min. Be aware, once you try this delicious pumpkin version, you might not be able to go back to traditional pancakes!
