Easy Fall Pancake Recipes That’ll Make Mornings Extra Cozy

As a kid, pancakes for breakfast were one of the best things about weekend mornings. As an adult, not much has changed.

While I love bowls of oatmeal and plates of eggs on toast during the week, I often crave something a little more special on weekends. And since I have a little bit of extra time most Saturdays and Sundays, it makes sense to whip up a batch of pancakes a few times a month.

Pancakes really have a lot going for them. For one thing, they’re pretty much a blank, carb-y slate for whatever mix-ins or toppings you’re in the mood for. Banana oatmeal pancakes might be on the menu one morning, and peanut butter chocolate chip pancakes the next.

Plus, pancake recipes are relatively quick—the batter comes together in less than five minutes, and each cake only takes a few minutes to cook. Lastly (and this is my favorite thing about them), you can totally store pancake batter in the fridge for a few days, making on-demand pancakes possible in a cinch, no dirty mixing bowl required.
