The ricotta cheese made the center of these pancakes have a cheesecake like texture. They are really easy to make and look like you spent all morning in the kitchen!

The pancakes were doughy on the inside when they were done on the outside. Given how much pumpkin and ricotta cheese is called for, this is probably the intended texture, but I prefer a typical pancake texture. The pancake would only get 1 star from me.

The cinnamon brown butter, however, is very good, and I will make it again, without the pecans though.

This recipe was wonderful, my kids loved it, even the one who never likes anything! I did make the syrup with a little less butter, but it was still wonderful!

My two girls aged 4.5 and 3 LOVED these and I felt good about serving them something with pumpkin in it- although the butter/syrup topping probably cancelled out the benefit of the "hidden" veggie. The brown butter syrup is FABULOUS and I would make that again even for frozen waffles.

First time was raw in center so I used fat free milk instead and a bit of water to thin it. Perfect.

I have no idea what went wrong, but all I could get was gooey mess fried on the outside and raw on the inside. I even tried baking and microwaving these after frying them. It was very disappointing and I ended throwing all the batter out.

So good!! The pumpkin flavor is mild, but still there. We loved the texture of these and the brown butter is awesome!

Fantastic! Only change I will make next time is to double up on the Cinnamon Brown Butter as we ran out of it before the pancakes were gone. Easy and delicious!
