Pumpkin Pancakes

I am posting this recipe by special request. It is something that I developed a few months ago but really wanted to test again. I have been so busy that I haven't had the time yet. Since I have been asked to post this recipe I do so with the caveat that you keep in mind it may not be fully developed. Normally, I am completely against doing that but I thought that maybe I could recruit some home cooks to prepare this recipe to help test it for me. When you give this a try please let me know the results and if you made any changes. I do recommend that you do at least one batch according to the recipe first. I know that things like chopped pecans or walnuts would make a wonderful addition to this recipe, too. These Pumpkin Pancakes were delicious and were being eaten as fast as I could take them off the griddle, just so you know, but I felt there was room for a little more improvement. So give these a try and let me know what you think. At 3.3 grams net carbs in each I'm sure you'll be eating your fair share. I hope you enjoy.
