The beautiful and insanely culinarily talented duo from Just Married & Cooking have done it again. Check out this brand new recipe for Butternut Squash Pancakes with Pecan-Maple Sauce (yum!). The organic butternut squash soup substitutes for extra flour and adds Vitamin A, Vitamin C and hard-to-find manganese and folate. This is a perfect breakfast to serve your visiting house guests over the holiday weekend – but only the ones you really like. Personally, I will be making these for a family brunch before I drag my husband to go see Edward and Bella get married. He’s a saint.

Butternut Squash Pancakes with Pecan-Maple Sauce

For the Pancakes:

◦  3 cups all-purpose flour

◦  cup granulated sugar

◦  teaspoon salt

◦  1 tablespoon baking powder

◦  1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

◦  1 17.3 oz O OrganicsTM Butternut Squash Soup

◦  4 large eggs

◦  1 teaspoon vanilla extract

◦  1 cup milk

For the Pecan-Maple Sauce:

◦  2 tablespoons butter

◦  cup chopped pecans

◦  cup O Organics Maple Syrup

Instructions

1. Combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butternut squash soup, eggs, vanilla and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Set aside to rest 10 minutes.
2. While the batter rests, put the butter and chopped pecans in a small saucepot over medium heat. When the butter begins to sizzle add the maple syrup and continue cooking until the syrup begins to bubble.

To cook the pancakes, heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan and add just enough oil to cover the bottom. Pour the batter into the heated skillet, using a ¼ cup measure as a scoop. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are brown. Turn and cook approximately 1 minute more.

Prep time: 15 min   Cook time: 15 min   Total time: 30 min   Serves: 16 pancakes
