Our pumpkin pancakes are the perfect way to kick off a crisp fall morning with comforting flavors and a fluffy texture that melts in your mouth. The combination of pumpkin purée and pumpkin spice really enhances the fall flavors, while the addition of sour cream adds a nice tang and makes the pancakes extra tender. Using oat milk keeps them light, and the melted butter ensures a golden, crisp edge. Topping them with maple syrup and roasted, salted pumpkin seeds will add the perfect balance of sweetness and a delightful crunch. This recipe is sure to become a fall breakfast favorite!
This Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll combines the comforting flavors of fall with the classic appeal of homemade cinnamon rolls. Made with a mix of all-purpose flour, canned pumpkin, and warm nutmeg, the dough has a soft and tender texture, while the yeast ensures a perfect rise for fluffy rolls. The addition of oat milk and butter provides richness, and the pumpkin gives it a subtle sweetness and seasonal warmth. Lightly brushing the dough with olive oil before rising keeps it from drying out, and once baked, ice these pumpkin cinnamon rolls with a creamy maple cream cheese icing and its the ultimate cozy fall treat!
This Pumpkin French Toast recipe transforms a classic breakfast favorite into a rich, seasonal delight. Whisk together eggs, creamy pumpkin purée, heavy cream, and a fragrant blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla to create a flavorful custard base. Thick slices of challah bread soak up the mixture, ensuring each bite is perfectly spiced and soft on the inside. The addition of sugar helps to caramelize the toast as it cooks, giving it a crispy, golden finish. A sprinkle of sea salt adds the perfect balance to the sweetness, making this French toast a cozy autumn treat!
