Fall is here! Which means, pumpkin EVERYTHING. This recipe was inspired by the common Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake and my new favorite breakfast spot, “Orphan”, that serves Pumpkin Spice Pancakes! The preparation is fairly easy but just requires some patience for it to bake. This dish is so aromatic that baking it in your kitchen will wake up everyone in your home to the sweet, nutty scent of fall.
