What are they like? They’re deliciously maple-ish (mapley?) and though more oaty than plain fluffy, they’re fantastic and perfect to enjoy post workout. The pumpkin is a great addition to the pancakes as it keeps them moist and gives them this really nice extra flavour dimension – one which complements the pancakes’ maple flavour to perfection.
