Pumpkin Pancakes

In honor of our visit to the Morton Pumpkin Festival last weekend, we decided to make pumpkin pancakes for breakfast yesterday. Apparently Morton (just 20 minutes from Normal) produces 80% of the world's canned pumpkin at their Libby pumpkin factory. The pancakes weren't amazing, but good enough to recommend...and apparently more nutritious than the average pancake.

Here's the recipe:

2 cups complete pancake mix (such as AUNT JEMIMA® Buttermilk Complete)
1 1/2 cups water
2/3 cup LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
Nonstick cooking spray
Lite pancake syrup, if desired

I added a pinch of pumpkin pie spice and some cinnamon (but I'm not sure that we could really taste it). You just mix the ingredients and make them on a skillet, like normal pancakes.
