Looking for a fall breakfast? You’re in the right place, with these pumpkin pancakes and their cinnamon-flavored butter. I got the idea from the series Gilmore Girls, the ultimate autumn show, and I loved the result, which should impress for your October brunches 😉 I used the very convenient pumpkin puree from Koro, but you can also make your own puree with butternut squash or pumpkin according to your preferences 😊
 
Ingredients :
I used the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and maple syrup from Koro: code ILETAITUNGATEAU for 5% off everything on the site (non-affiliated).
