Saturday morning to me means:
…sleeping in until {gasp} 8am
…drinking coffee while leisurely checking my favorite blogs on my laptop
…reading my bible underneath the covers with Dexter curled up next to me
…throwing a load of dirty clothes in the wash because I’ve procrastinated doing it all week
…pulling some bacon out of the freezer and gathering ingredients to make fluffy pancakes, dripping with maple syrup.
Saturday mornings are special. I hope in the future when I have kids of my own, I can keep up the pancake and bacon tradition. My new favorite pancakes? These thick chocolate chip pumpkin spice ones. Oh my, are they ever decadent and delicious.
They make me happy. And bonus? They freeze + reheat beautifully. Just wrap leftover pancakes individually in tin foil and stick ‘em in the freezer for busy weekday mornings. When you’re ready to eat, just unwrap, pop in the toaster, and in a matter of minutes you can enjoy fresh pumpkin pancakes bursting with gooey chocolate chips.
Grab the recipe over at PBS Food. Happy Saturday, friends!

Yum- I know what’s for breakfast after my Long run tomorrow!!
Holy yum! These pancakes look awesome!!
The link isn’t working!
Ooh yes, weekends were MADE for pancakes! These sound unbelievable. I’m totally OD-ing on pumpkin this season but it’s just too good to miss out on!
I made pumpkin pnacakes the morning after Halloween and it was the same kind of morning. A lot of my friends had work cancelled because of the hurricane, so we all slept in and ate pumpkin pancakes!

I love the tradition… pancake and bacon Saturdays… must adapt this one!!!
WOW! Those pancakes look AMAZING!!!!!! adding those to my weekend to do list. Thanks for sharing
I love Saturday mornings! Sleeping in, coffee and yummy breakfasts like this! LOVE!
Thank you so much for this recipe. My boyfriend INSISTS that he does not like pancakes, and I keep trying to prove him otherwise. THis recipe might just do it.
I think we need to make pumpkin live on as a year round flavor. We can start by having this pancakes with bacon every saturday! What if you put bacon in the pancakes? That could be delicious too. yum
Jenna your pancakes look thick and golden and perfect for this time of year. Glad you are able to enjoy a nice, leisurely, weekend morning. Reading in bed with the covers on and all cozy is pretty much the.best.gift. I love the simple things!
I recently started a site and I am trying to become a better cook through testing out different recipes across the web (before developing my own) but I always end up bookmarking your recipes! Can you ever make something that I DON’T want to try ??
Haha I sleep in until about 730/8am on Saturday too
I love relaxing Saturday mornings. I haven’t had a good ‘stay in my pj’s and make pancakes and bacon’ kind of Saturday morning in entirely too long! I think that needs to change next weekend!
Love this! Lazy Saturday mornings are the best. I love to Snuggle with by Nook. I’m working through Gone Girl right now — such a good book!
Those sound like my Sunday mornings
This looks great!
Yum! These need to make an appearance in our weekend round-up.
Fabulous in every way. Nothing makes me happier than a big stack of pancakes! Your Saturday morning routine sounds lovely.
your saturdays sounds perfect, and have got my craving pancakes now! will defiantly be making these next weekend x
Hooray for Saturday mornings! Coffee, blogs, and pancakes are the best.
You inspired me to pull some frozen pancakes out of my freezer! Banana walnut, but still! Chocolate chip pumpkin next time.
YUM! Pumpkin in pancakes are the best pancakes ever..hands down! Your Saturday sounds SO amazingly relaxing.
Yum yum yum. These look awesome! Your Saturday morning sounds lovely.
Sounds like the most delightful Saturday morning…and, looks like it too ; )
Made these on Saturday…OMG soooooo good!
that sounds like a most perfect saturday
cheers!
I have that same “good morning” mug! It’s my favorite!!!
I just made pumpkin spice pancakes on Saturday morning! I’m still tweaking the recipe but should be posting it soon. Hadn’t thought about adding chocolate chips though…
Finally, a pumpkin dish that isn’t loaded with sugar and butter! I recently bought a waffle iron, and was wondering if this batter would work for waffles? Should I add more baking powder to make sure they’re fluffy?
These look amazing, Jenna! I can’t wait to try them!! I hope you make another stop in your old stomping grounds, Charleston, before your book tour is over!
YUM! I love pumpkin chocolate chip ANYTHING, and the BH is always trying to get me to make chocolate chip waffles. I am totally not opposed… I just don’t think they go all that well with maple syrup. BUT… add pumpkin and it’s a horse of a different color! DELISH! Can’t wait to try!
Good day! I could not wait to try this recipe. I did not have to purchase anything because I had all of the ingredients for this Sunday morning surprise. Alas, it did not turn out well. They looked as beautiful as the photo. However, the insides were moist, like pudding. And, I was not sure how to fix this dilemma. Please advise.
