Pumpkin Pancakes

Fall is my favorite holiday for MANY reasons.  One of them being the apples and pumpkins.  Nothing is better then the smell of fresh apple juice and pumpkin pie.  Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.  I searched around for our favorite pumpkin recipe for pancakes. This is the original recipe. Here is how I changed it up for us.
