Number Of Ingredients 15

PANCAKES:
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup canned pumpkin purée
2 eggs
3 tablespoons applesauce
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups Bisquick
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
SYRUP:
8 ounces salted caramel ice cream topping
8 ounces pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt
3 slices crisply cooked bacon, crumbled

Steps:

To make the pancakes, whisk the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the Bisquick, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Combine the mixtures and let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat with melted butter or a non-stick spray. Pour 1/3 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes or until the edges look dry and bubbles form on top of the pancake. Flip and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. To prepare the syrup, combine the salted caramel ice cream topping, syrup, and salt in a medium-size bowl. When ready to use, add in the crumbled bacon. Pour syrup over the pumpkin pancakes.
