Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Pumpkin spice, ah how we have missed you. Totally overhyped?? Yes. Totally worth the hype? Also yes. Good thing pumpkin has some pretty awesome health benefits, though. These pumpkin spice pancakes will please anyone - girlfriends over for brunch, or picky kids! If you're someone who doesn't like pumpkin (wait, really??) sub the pumpkin purée for unsweetened applesauce.

Busy Lady Tip: Prep the dry ingredients and add that mix to mason jars for ready-to-go pre-portioned pancake mix (also NOT required - no batch cooking here, remember?).
