PUMPKIN PANCAKES WITH CARAMEL PECAN SAUCE

Pumpkin Pancakes with Caramel Pecan Sauce – delicious Autumn pancakes smothered with caramel sauce and chopped pecans. Alternatively, you can use dulce de leche.

I am using a tested recipe for pumpkin pancakes and dressing them up a bit with a good caramel sauce – it’s such a tasty and pretty combination, and it’s perfect for a Thanksgiving breakfast or brunch!
With the caramel sauce dripping along the sides of pancakes, you’ll definitely want to lick your plate. Caramel + pecans + pumpkin do go really well together!
