Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes

October 23, 2015 by jessfuel 12 Comments

These hearty pancakes are packed with pumpkin, oatmeal and whole wheat. They’ll keep you full throughout these chilly fall mornings!

Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes

Oh hey! Hey! I didn’t drop off the face of the earth! I just dropped out of the country… temporarily. Yep, my sad, empty, recently renewed passport got it’s first stamp. And I checked another continent off my list. South America! Yep, I spent last week exploring Chile and it was pretty amazing.

The menfolk got to visit Chile for a few days for work, and a few of their wives and I decided we weren’t going to let this opportunity pass us by. When would we ever have another reason to visit South America?

So we set out on a girls trip to Chile and met the hubbies halfway through our travels. It was the perfect combination of hanging out with the girls, solo time with the hubs, and fun adventures with great friends. I seriously think it’s the best vacation I’ve ever been on! Not to mention the fact that Chile was just amazing and beautiful, and we did so many different things.

I’ll definitely be putting together a full recap for you soon! In the meantime, I’m trying to catch up with blogging, laundry, and furbaby loves.

No that it’s officially October I have no qualms with breaking out the pumpkin. There may be lots. We went to a Starbucks in Chile and do you know what? They don’t even have the Pumpkin Spice Latte down there! So this is definitely an American obsession for sure. (Though they do use a ton of pumpkin, but they use it in savory dishes as a squash.)

Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes

Well I’m pretty dang American, so when I got back I was ready for some pumpkin spice. In order to set myself up for a successful week I decided to make a huge batch of pancakes that I could reheat (just pop them in the toaster!) for breakfast every day.

Pancakes are one of my favorite breakfasts and pumpkin just makes them all the better. I added some oatmeal into this batch to really give them some staying power! And a little extra baking powder makes them super thick and fluffy. What pancake dreams are made of.

I’ve been chowing on these all week and I’m still loving the fall flavor. Pumpkin takes dessert next!?

    I had an sneaking suspicion that the pumpkin spice latte was an American obsession. Haha. :). These pancakes look divine. Most people love them for breakfast, but to me this looks like a perfect comfy dinner on a cold day. ๐Ÿ™‚

    How fun! Chile is on my bucket list…we made it to Brazil and Argentina but South America is too big to see all at once! Love the looks of your pancakes, I bet your house smelled amazing when you were cooking them up!

    I can’t wait to read all about your trip Jess! So glad you had a great time. These pancakes look perrrrfect – I love the tip of reheating in the toaster for a quicker weekday breakfast!

      Yes! That’s my favorite thing to do. I’ll freeze a whole batch and reheat them the same way from frozen, too. Like toasted waffles!

    Chile! How exciting! I’m all about the pumpkin too and wait all year for the PSL to come. I’ve never had oatmeal in my pancakes or reheated them in a toaster. I love both of these ideas!
