Roasted Pumpkin Pancakes

These pumpkin pancakes are made by blending roasted pumpkin with a fluffy pancake batter infused with warming spices. They have a light, tender texture with a golden-brown exterior, and the addition of pumpkin creates a subtle sweetness and vibrant appearance. The pancakes are cooked on a griddle until perfectly browned and served warm.
