Mom's Pumpkin Pancakes w/Homemade Cinnamon Spice Syrup

• 1 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup milk (can use almond milk)
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon vinegar or apple cider vinegar (whatever you have)

For the Cinnamon Syrup

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 t teaspoon baking soda

Mix milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar in a bowl. In separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon and salt. Stir into the pumpkin mixture.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle/pan over medium high heat. Pour batter onto the griddle, using around 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook on one side, until bubbles begin to form, then flip. Cook until brown on both sides!

For Syrup:

Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar, buttermilk, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth and bring to boil. Once boiling, simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.  Add baking soda, which will cause the mixture to bubble up. Cook 30 more seconds, then remove from heat.  Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving -- it will thicken as it cools. 

ENJOY!!!
