Is it dessert? Is it dinner? Why yes it is! Have you seen the pumpkin rolls with the cream cheese filling? This is a take-off on that idea. No, it is NOT the same recipe so the pancakes are a bit more pumpkin bread like so it is not as sweet but the filling is the sweet part. You can put as much filling between your pancakes as you like. Eat it for dinner or dessert!
Verdict:
This was a super hit. I don’t tend to like very many pumpkin spice items. I think they taste weird but this one was perfect. It had tons of flavor and the sweetness made it perfect to eat just as it was. Don’t want the extra sweetness of the filling? These are also good with just a sprinkle of powdered sugar over the top.
My kids gobbled these down and we still had leftovers for lunch the next day.
These are so rich and decadent that I served them all on their own.
