Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes

These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes were made with whole wheat pastry flour and while it is in the title, I feel that it bears repeating: Chocolate chips.

I do find it sort of sad when it is mid to late August and the leaves are already beginning to change to red, orange and yellow up here in the northeast.

Then, of course, you start to see it everywhere: Pumpkin.

Pumpkin everything! Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spice candles, pumpkin deodorant.

Okay, I made that last one up. 

My all-time favorite pumpkin “thing” is pumpkin beer. In fact, I just picked up a six pack of Pumpkin Ale.

It’s August still and there are a ton of pumpkin beers on the shelves already!

So it turns out, someone has made pumpkin spice deodorant.

No matter what your feelings are about pumpkin spice and its many faces, you can’t deny that these pancakes will be the highlight of your fall-themed brunch or your Thanksgiving breakfast.
