    pouring maple syrup on a stack of cream cheese filled pancakes

    Anyone else's brain in full on fall mode? I looked out the window this morning, and I shit you not, the tops of the trees were red. I almost, quite literally, spit out my coffee. Has my forever favorite season chosen to grace us with it's presence so early? Yes, this is the only logical conclusion.

    It's not the trees being under-watered or any of that nonsense.

    Nope. Fall is here. I've decided.

    And with a serious case of fall-on-the-brain, the doctor's orders are pretty clear: it's time for pumpkin EVERYTHING. You can call me basic. I don't even care. Time to break out the sweaters, the pumpkin pie and colorful fall leaves.

    Is it too early for Halloween decor? You know, asking for a friend...

    But in the meantime, let's get this pumpkin show on the road! Starting with these breakfast-level-ridiculous pumpkin cheesecake pancakes! These pumpkin pancakes are layered with sweet cream cheese filling and topped with hazelnuts and maple syrups. So... fall... please get in my belly!

      I have to admit, I'm not one to jump on the pumpkin train...but I may just need to make an exception for these pancakes. They look so delicious, and I love everything in them.

          Hi Alex! You can vary the amount of milk depending on how thin or thick you like your pancakes, but 1 1/2 cups is a good place to start.
