Pumpkin Pie Pancakes

- 1 cup (240 ml) oatmeal
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) oil
- 1 cup (240 ml) pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- Dash of cloves
Maple Pecans
- 1 cup (100 g) coarsely chopped pecans
- 2 tbsp (30 g) butter
- 6 tbsp (90 ml) maple syrup (*I use unfiltered Grade B maple syrup)
Maple Cinnamon Whipped Cream

- 1/4 tsp cinnamon, to taste
Instructions
Pumpkin Pie Pancakes
- Mix the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the wet ingredients.
- Heat a griddle to medium heat and cook the pancakes until they are golden brown on each side.
- Serve the pancakes with maple pecans and maple cinnamon whipped cream.
Maple Pecans
- Melt the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat.
- Mix in the maple syrup and add the pecan pieces.
- Stirring constantly, cook the pecans for approximately 10 minutes or until the maple-butter glaze boils and thickens.
- Let the glazed pecan pieces cool completely.
Maple Cinnamon Whipped Cream
- Mix the ingredients together and beat on high using a hand-held mixer or a KitchenAid mixer with the whisk attachment. It will take several minutes for the liquid cream to transform into fluffy peaks.
- If you beat the whipping cream until it is too stiff you can add more cream and continue beating. This is also a good trick if you are using leftovers the next day. Leftover whipped cream often starts to separate and lose its form. Simply add more cream (if need be) and whip it again.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when the maple-butter glaze on the pecans is done?
The maple pecan instructions say to stir constantly over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, until the maple-butter glaze boils and thickens into a glossy coating on the pecan pieces. Let them cool completely before serving — the glaze firms up as it cools.
What do I do if my maple cinnamon whipped cream loses its shape or starts to separate?
The recipe includes a specific rescue tip: if the whipped cream becomes too stiff or starts to separate (especially the next day), simply add a bit more heavy cream and whip it again. This restores the fluffy, peaked texture without starting over from scratch.
