Celebrating Fall Flavors #BreadBakers



I have the honor of hosting our Bread Bakers club this month.  I chose October because, to me, that is when Fall truly starts.  And with Fall comes apples and pumpkins and caramel and cinnamon and pears and zucchini and cabbage and winter squash and greens and nuts and seeds and.....well you get the idea.

So that is our theme for this month.  We all got together and baked up a creation that reminds us of Fall, my favorite time of the year.

One of the things I love most about the Fall is hiking through the woods.  Call me crazy but I love the smell of decomposing leaves, the feel of the crisp autumn air and the sound of leaves crunching underfoot.  Not to mention the beauty of the changing colors and the chance of finding edible mushrooms.

I like to hike first thing in the morning and then I like to come home to a hearty and healthy breakfast like these delicious pancakes that I am sharing with you today.


These pancakes are chock full of Fall Flavors.
Cornmeal, Pumpkin and Apples make for a perfect, hearty Fall meal.


They turned out fluffy and fragrant with chunks of apple adding brightness and texture.

Pumpkin and Apple Cornmeal Griddle Cakes

3/4 c. flour
3/4 c. cornmeal
2 T. sugar
1/4 t. pumpkin pie spice
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. kosher salt
3 eggs, beaten
1 apple, peeled and diced
3/4 c. pumpkin puree
1 c. milk
1/4 c. butter, melted

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and whisk until just blended. Drop by 1/3 cup fulls onto a preheated 350* griddle.  Cook until edges are dry, bubbles form on the top and bottom is golden brown.  Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.  Place in a warm oven or under heat lamps while cooking the remaining batter.  Print Recipe

Let's take a look at the other Fall Flavors being shared today

  3. Thank you Wendy for the lovely theme.From where I come, would probably never get down to using pumpkin for baking as we don't have fall season. Love the griddle cake, looks so wholesome. Nice way to start the day.
