These pumpkin pancakes started off healthy, but I did something “bad” to them. I added in some chocolate chips. Oops! They kind of fell into the pancakes from my pantry into the batter. Just kidding! I heard that if you ate a piece of dark chocolate a day, it would help lower your blood pressure. How can these be totally bad for you then? These pancakes are sweet and very festive for the Pumpkin season. Make them for breakfast tomorrow morning!

What Ingredients do I need?
- All-purpose flour - is a type of wheat flour that is commonly used in cooking and baking. It is versatile and can be used for a variety of recipes, including bread, cakes, cookies, and pastries.
- Baking soda - also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a white crystalline powder that is commonly used in baking as a leavening agent
- Pumpkin pie spice - is a blend of warm, aromatic spices that are commonly used in pumpkin pie and other fall desserts. The traditional blend typically includes cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Some variations may also include allspice, orcardamom.
- Cinnamon is a spice that comes from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum.
- Low-fat buttermilk (Or any non-dairy substitute) Dairy does not like me at all so I go for a lactose free milk such as Fairlife. It also has more protein in it.
- Canned pumpkin, do not use pumpkin pie filling
- Large egg(s) - The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
- Packed brown sugar, dark variety - Is made by combining granulated white sugar with molasses, which gives it a brown color and a slightly different taste than regular white sugar.
- Extra Toppings: Powdered sugar Mini chocolate chips

Jenna says
I used 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.

Not seeing the chocolate chips in the recipe? How much do we use?
Kate @ Babaganosh.org says
Yum! These look delicious. I love pumpkin spice everything, but definitely prefer the natural stuff made at home (such as this) instead of sugar artificially flavored drinks. Although in a pinch a dunkin donuts pumpkin spice coffee will do 🙂
I am trying to wait a few more weeks before I start with the fall recipes, but posts like this and my pinterest page makes it hard to wait!
