Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes

Halloween may be over... but for me, pumkin season is at the peak! I bought 3 sugar pumpkins this year and so my freezer is full of goodies.  1 pumpkin makes about 4 cups of pureed pumpkin so we have a lot of pies in our future.  This morning I made pumpkin pancakes.  Ever since a visit to a good friend of mine in Boston, I've loved the idea of this breakfast food.  And as a bonus, it's an extra boost of veggies in your breakfast!

Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes

1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Sift together, add:

1 cup milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 tbsp veggie oil

Stir together with wet ingredients. Makes about 4 servings.
I serve with a simple raspberry sauce - 1/3 cup frozen raspberries (about $2 at Trader Joe's for a 12 oz bag), and 1-2 tbsp sugar, cooked at medium heat for about 5 min until thickened.

The combination of raspberry and pumpkin is astonishingly delicious! I'm a sucker for raspberries though.
