I halved the amount of sugar and added cinnamon, ginger, & cloves. These seem more filling than regular pancakes, which was nice. Also much more moist, which was different, but good. Next time I'll make without the nuts (although yummy!) and have some chicken & apple sausage on the side.
Batter turned out way too runny — I had to adjust. The pancakes were moist but a bit dense. Not my favs.
Tastes great but the inside was soft at best. I used a pancake griddle set at 350. The outside was brown but the inside was somewhat wet. I experimented with turning down the griddle temp, which just took longer, and continued to result in a moist interior. I also tried placing the cooked pancakes in a convection oven at 350 to finish them. That worked, but they were flat. I love a fluffy, crispy around the edges pancake with a fully cooked finished interior. This recipe didn’t work for me.
Added 1tsp pumpkin spice. Only toasted the pecans, no sugar. Probably would be good with whipped cream. Did not use whole wheat flour but probably could add as half. Delicious!
