Pumpkin Pancakes with Cinnamon Butter

**I originally posted this LAST year on Halloween but it is just to good not to share again so I had to change the date and repost!**
UPDATE: My family is STILL licking their chops over this one... One batch is too much for my little family of four!

2 cups flour
5 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp each: all spice, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 eggs
2 Tbsp veg. oil
2 Tbsp vinegar (I used Apple Cider... I'm sure it doesn't matter which)
½ cup nuts, optional*

Mix wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the dry. Now incorporate the wet with the dry just until combined. Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium heat and make your pancakes!
* I added chocolate chips instead and my oh my it was dee-lish. Basically tasted like a normal chocolate chip pumpkin cookie for breakfast, but what’s wrong with that??

Cinnamon Butter:

½ cup butter (1 stick)
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
A touch of orange peel (didn't have one so I omitted)

Mix all together and spread over warm pancakes!
