Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes

Mr. Mom Endeavors loves pumpkin! Pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bars, pumpkin anything! So, on a recent slightly cooler Fall morning, I decided that some pumpkin pancakes were in order! While I love light & fluffy pancakes, I usually try to make them a little healthier using a mix of ground oatmeal and whole wheat flour. The pancakes are more dense this way, but they still taste great for a heartier breakfast! I like to make a big batch and then use the rest as a “made ahead” breakfast for the week (they freeze well too)!
