It was okay. I was a bit dissappointed. I did let it sit for 15minutes but mine was way too thick. It was a bit dry. My kids liked it but I will not make this recipe again unfortunately.

Loved these! I used whole wheat flour and added a lot more of the spices, as I love the spice flavors. I didn't even add any toppings to them! Delicious and filling! Also note that they cook a lot slower than regular pancakes. I cooked them at a slightly lower tempature to keep the outsides from browning too much and still able to get the inside cooke.

I really liked this, but hubbie wasn't too crazy about them. I used Walnuts instead of choco chips since he is a diabetic. Oat bran instead of quick cooking. Just a bit of brown sugar & a bit of Splenda. My homemade pumpkin pie spice, buttermilk for the milk. It's a VERY thick batter & hard to tell when they are done, but I loved the flavor of them. Thanks!

These tasted great! I did follow the advice from tat2's review and left my batter to sit for about 15 minutes before cooking. They cooked up perfectly, no extra time needed. Now I'm not the best pancake flipper in the world - so I didn't bother to make the choc. chip face while cooking but rather after cooking, by cutting out pieces of the pancake to accommodate the choc. chips. Unfortunately it only worked for the eyes and nose. The mouth, I'm not sure what happened lol - I need some carving skills! Haha. I wish it did turn out pretty but hey, I can't complain about the flavour of these pancakes! It's awesome! I was going to serve with pecan butter but it turns out the chocolate was the perfect compliment to the pancakes IMO. I think next time I may just add the chocolate chips into the batter rather than trying to make a face out of them. Thank you for sharing your recipe! It's very delicious.

I made this recipe exactly as written, only using lowfat buttermilk instead of regular milk. As I've learned with most oatmeal based recipes, the batter really needs to sit for about 15 minutes or so to give the oatmeal a chance to soak up some of the excess liquid and puff up and expand. These puffed up nicely and cooked up without issues on my griddle. I served this with a pumpkin spice syrup and homemade breakfast sausage. The kids and I really enjoyed this.

Yum! Loved them and will make them again!!! I gave it four stars like the others simply for the fact that it does need more milk. Also, if you add the choc. chips after you flip the pancake it turns out much better and less mess. With the modifications the recipe is a five star! I shared it with my friends on face-book too.

I agree that the original recipe did not "cook up in time." Try 10-12 Mins (as suggested in other "Pumpkin Recipes" on this site,) especially as this recipe calls for 1 c flour and 1 c oats!. Mange!

I agree with the previous review that they took a long time to cook. This recipe is excellent though and I'm sure I'll make it again. I added more milk - maybe another cup (I added a little at a time until the batter was thin enough). Also, I only had old-fashioned oats and blended them up before adding them to the batter. GREAT! - even my picky son ate the pumpkin!

This recipe was quite good, but it did not cook right. The pancakes were on the griddle for a LONG time and they never fully cooked. They were chewy and wet, but delicious. I want to give it more stars and maybe I should have cooked them longer, but somethig is missing - either an ingredient, quantity, or cooking instruction.
