Cozy and Delicious

I have to admit, I've sorta gotten addicted to these babies. It might just be the recent change in weather but the sound of pumpkin flavored things has caused me to experiment with pumpkin breakfast foods. I tried pumpkin oatmeal, which was okay but nothing  compared to pumpkin pancakes! and that's as far as i've gotten with the experimenting haha The fact that i know i'll be making them for breakfast is what gets me out of bed early while its still chilly outside. (that's what makes them cozy) I made the batter and saved what i didn't use. i've had these pancakes for 3 mornings straight and i'm still not sick of them. The combination of the warm festive pancakes, piping hot cinnamon syrup, and crunchy pecans is simply irresistible. So i thought i'd share the happiness.
