1⁄3 cup Natural Grocers® Brand Organic Grade A Dark Maple Syrup
1⁄4 cup Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Pecan Pieces
  Parchment paper
For pancakes
1 Natural Grocers Brand Regenerative Organic Pasture-Raised Eggs
3⁄4 cup organic milk, or non-dairy milk
1⁄2 cup canned Natural Grocers Brand Organic Pumpkin
2 tablespoons organic butter or Natural Grocers Brand Organic Plant Based Buttery Sticks, melted, plus some for greasing the skillet
2 1⁄2 teaspoons Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend
1⁄4 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Real Salt
1 cup Natural Grocers Brand Gluten Free Pancake and Waffle Mix
Optional for serving
  butter
  maple syrup
  whipped cream

1. For the maple pecan butter: Add the butter, maple syrup, and pecans to a medium mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer on a low-medium speed to whip for 2-3 minutes, or until combined. If you do not have an electric mixer, use a fork to mash the butter and mix in the maple syrup and pecans until combined. Set aside.

2. For the pancakes: Whisk the egg, milk, pumpkin, and melted butter together in a large bowl. Add the pumpkin pie spice, salt, and pancake mix and stir until combined.

3. Grease a large skillet or griddle with butter and place on the stovetop over medium heat. Use a ¼-cup measure to scoop pancake mixture onto the hot skillet or griddle, and repeat to make 3-4 silver-dollar sized pancakes (depending on the skillet size). Cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat until all pancakes are cooked. Serve topped with a dollop of the maple pecan butter.

4. While the pancakes are cooking, set aside ¼ of the maple pecan butter for the pancakes. Divide what remains in half and spoon onto two 15 x 12-inch pieces of parchment paper. Gently roll the butter in the parchment paper into 1-inch-thick logs. Twist the ends of the parchment paper to seal. Refrigerate while pancakes finish cooking and then slice into rounds before butter completely hardens; wrap back up and refrigerate. The butter will remain fresh in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and in the freezer for at least a couple months.

Note: Natural Grocers Brand Bulk ingredients are packaged in a plant that processes gluten.
