Keeping it short and simple tonight. These pancakes will be on repeat for me ALL season long because they are THAT good. The fall flavors are absolutely on point & the pecan praline sauce is almost to die for... it's like an amazing caramel with a nutty twist. I added a dollop of freshly whipped cream on top of course. Feel free to leave it out or squeeze on a good amount of redi whip, I won't judge you ;) Hope you make these this weekend or some time soon!
