It's definitely the time of year 

when pumpkin spice anything sounds good to me.

I baked Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes 

this week for the Stashbusters Club at the Fig Leaf.

Stashbusters is a wonderful baking outlet.  It

gives me an opportunity to try new cupcake recipes.

Of course, the true purpose is get our wonderful 

quilting friends into and working with their stashes.

But I know everyone enjoys seeing what I'll bake next.

I found this recipe over at Annie Eats.  

I used a Caramel Buttercream frosting instead

of the whip cream on top.

The cupcakes were moist and had a wonderful pumpkin

spice flavor with a hint of espresso, 

almost like a fancy barista drink.

I couldn't stop with just one pumpkin treat this week, so I pulled out

one of my favorite fall pumpkin breakfast ideas.

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

We love to have breakfast for dinner.

These pancakes are so tasty and would be a hit

for company or just for a "warm stay at home" breakfast.

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Makes about 12 pancakes

Ingredients:

1 ¼ cups flour

2 T. brown sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. salt

¾ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp. nutmeg

Dash of ginger

Dash of cloves

1 cup milk

½ cup pumpkin puree

1 large egg

2 T. vegetable oil or melted butter

Directions:

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a liquid measuring cup, mix together the wet ingredients. Add the wet to the dry and whisk together just until combined. (The batter may still have a few lumps).

Heat a greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once the griddle is hot, add 1/3 cup scoops of batter for each pancake. Serve with cinnamon sugar, maple syrup or whipped cream.

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater will continue to

make and sample pumpkin recipes.

 My pumpkin recipe file folder has so many good ideas.

 I did find some canned pumpkin at Whole Foods this week

and stocked up on a few extra cans.

Until Next Time-
