This quick and easy recipe contains 3 of my favorite things: pumpkin, breakfast for dinner, and a doctored mix.
Eating breakfast food for dinner is a comforting treat and there's a vast number of dishes available for such a meal. You can go savory with bacon, eggs, and tall buttermilk biscuits, or you can go sweet with pancakes, waffles, or French toast. Whichever you choose, one fact remains: breakfast for dinner is ALWAYS the right choice.
These foolproof pumpkin pancakes start with a simple just-add-water buttermilk pancake mix from Krusteaz. I realize that pumpkin pancakes are nothing new or innovative in the world of breakfast recipes, but I've found that they can be finicky little mistresses when it comes to texture. While I love a good pancake made from scratch, doctoring up a mix is very convenient when you want to get something delicious on the table as quickly as possible and don't want to risk any possible mishaps.
These pancakes cook up nice and fluffy and are chock full of pumpkin flavor with just the right amount of spice. The cinnamon cream cheese drizzle isn't too sweet and gets a hit of spices as well, making this the perfect breakfast for dinner treat this fall. Enjoy!

Omelets and egg burritos are my favorite breakfast foods to eat for dinner. They usually require more labor than I am willing to exert in the morning. At night that kind of work is routine for dinner. Also, on nights when I get home late and everyone is already in bed, I usually just eat a few bowls of cereal. Cereal tastes better in the evening for some reason.
