Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Flapjacks With a maple vanilla cinnamon cream

Flapjacks are good. So are pumpkins. Why not put the two together? With some chocolate chips. Sounds good right? A nice breakfast item, but also sweet enough to be a nice dessert!

Makes about 8 medium flapjacks.


Ingredients:
2 Cups All-purpose flour
2 Cups Almond Milk
1/4 Cup melted margarine
1 Tsp. Baking powder
1 Tsp. Salt
1/4 Cup sugar
1/3 Cup Chocolate Chips
1 Cup Pumpkin puree 

For the Cream:
1/2 Cup almond milk
1/4 Cup maple syrup
1/4 Tsp. Cinnamon
2 Tsp. Arrowroot power
1/2 Tsp. Fair trade Vanilla extract


Sift all the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Mix the pumpkin, margarine, almond milk, together in another small mixing bowl, and whisk. Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry and mix together.
On a medium heat pre-heated skillet, spray or oil it and add about 1/3 cup into the form of a pancake and cook When bubbles appear on the otherside, its ready to be flipped! Repeat for as many pancakes as you'd like.

For the cream, in a small mixing bowl, add the almond milk, syrup, cinnamon and extract and whisk together. In a small saucepan, bring to a boil. In a very small heat proof bowl combine about 1/8 cup of the cream mixture with the arrowroot and mix. Return to the saucepan and whisk. The mixture should thicken. Top these delicious flapjacks with the cream and enjoy.

Yum! I'm enjoying the rewards of this recipe right now! I made a half recipe and found the creme to be too little, but I just threw in some extra maple syrup to remedy that. Thanks for sharing! It is fun to follow a recipe blog that is local to the Syracuse/ Ithaca area!
