Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup quick cooking oats
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, lightly beat together the milk, egg, pumpkin, and oil. Stir flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture, blending just until moistened.

Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium high heat.

Pour batter, 1/3 cup at a time, onto the prepared griddle. Make a jack-o-lantern face in each pancake with the chocolate chips. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 5 minutes per side.
