Very good and moist pancakes. I added about a 1/3 cup of mini chocolate chips. Next time, I may add some cinnamon. My 8 year old twins loved them.

Pancakes were a little bland, but I did appreciate that they had so little oil and sugar. It's worth noting that the pumpkin makes the pancakes very moist, so they really looked done in color although the middle was still a little soggy. As other reviewers have mentioned, the syrup was amazing.

The perfect breakfast on Thanksgiving morning while watching the parade on tv. These pancakes are out of this world, and the apple cider syrup just throws them over the top. Yummy!!

I skipped the syrup only because I had to apple cider/juice to work with.Instead, we added semi-sweet chocolate chips and Redi-Whip. It was really good!I've never had pumpkin pancakes before, so I have nothing to compare these to. However, based on my opinion, there was very little pumpkin flavor. Maybe I'm just used to pumpkin muffins??? I will probably try a different recipe next time, but these were definitely good. And perhaps the syrup would have made all the difference!?

You have to try these pancakes! They are the best! Have made them at least 20 times with great results.

I myself, am not a pumpkin fan, but my family couldn't get enough of these! I made them for breakfast on Thanksgiving one year, and now the tradition has kind-of stuck :)

I love these pancakes and usually I don't care for pancakes that much. Personally, I prefer real maple syrup on them rather than the apple syrup given here.

Great pancakes!! Made a nice Sunday morning treat for my boys!!! I too used honey instead of corn syrup for the syrup. Was a little runny but very tasty. Otherwise followed the recipe and it came out great! Would definitely make again!!

didn't make the syrup instead I used a pumpkin cream cheese filling with a pumpkin spice whip topping, but these pancakes were so light and fluffy. Worth the extra step of doing the egg whites separate

Made this recipe exactly as written. Even separated the eggs (which by the way made the pancakes fantastic). Took the pancakes and apple cider syrup to our church small group. HUGE hit. Very good! Thank you for posting.

These were very good pancakes. I usually am not a fan of beating the egg whites in a different bowl because of extra work & dishes. It did make the pancakes lighter. I liked the syrup but it need to be doubled. I also used my waffle iron instead of just making pancakes.

A nice change from blueberry. I wouldn't dirty an extra bowl just for beating the egg whites though. It is just fine with the whole eggs put in together. Also I used honey instead of corn syrup. Very tasty.

I made this for dinner tonight and it was great! The pancakes are moist and fluffy due to the whipped egg whites and the pumpkin flavor is just right. I didn't have all the ingredients for the syrup so I'll have to try that next time...and there will definitely be a next time!

Yummy pancakes! I used pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon for more dazzle. They were a hit! Next time I will try the syrup :)
