FAQ's
The edges will be crispy and golden brown and there will be small bubbles burst on the top of the pancakes - THEN it's time to flip!
If the pancakes are tough it means you've over-beat the batter. Mix it just until combined. A few lumps are ok.
Add the toppings when the bubbles have formed on the top and they are ready to flip.
Things to know
- Turn the oven on low to keep pumpkin pancakes warm while you're cooking.
- Use an ice cream scoop to portion the batter on the griddle so the pancakes are uniform in size.
- Lightly crush the berries when they are cooking on the stove. Once you begin to drain the syrup, do not press the berries or the syrup will be cloudy.
- If you want to make your own pumpkin puree from scratch with fresh pumpkin, that's an option too - check this out to learn more.
Variations
- Add mini chocolate chips, blueberries, chopped pecans or walnuts.

- 1 cup sugar

Instructions
- Crush the berries well and mix with the sugar. In a heavy bottom pot, heat over the stove on medium-high heat, stirring often.
- Whatever you do...don't allow it to boil or you'll have strawberry jam and though good...that's not what we're looking for today! Stir the berries frequently and occasionally crush them to really combine the sugar and strawberries.
- Just before it comes to a boil, remove it from the heat.
- Place a sieve over a large bowl. Pour the strawberry mixture into the sieve and allow it to drain thru - about 10 minutes. Just walk away and leave it alone! (In other words, don't try and force the liquid out of the berries.
- Drain for about 10 minutes - when the dripping stops, remove the sieve and discard the berries.
- This will make about 2 ½-3 cups of delicious homemade strawberry syrup and keeps in the refrigerator for about a week.

Labor Day has come and gone. Have we officially entered fall yet? Well it's still 100+ degrees here in the valley so we are not a good judge of seasons here, but I'm from Oregon and Labor Day always meant ushering in the fall! I thought I'd start it off the changing of season with Pumpkin Pancakes!
Pumpkin Pancakes with Strawberry Syrup is a recipe I have had on the blog for years, but has only been "viewed" a few times. When I first began photographing, I didn't have any experience styling and because I was taking pictures with my cell phone, everything had a yellow tone. It wasn't very appetizing.
I've worked hard to correct that and have learned that perfectly placed food doesn't cut it. Messy is ok and sticky syrup means finger-licking deliciousness!
You need to try this! It's an amazing combination of flavors and so easy to make. Little kids and big kids would love this for breakfast on the weekend or like us - breakfast for dinner! Does this tempt your tastebuds?
