To make one large pancake:

Combine 4 oz. of your favorite buttermilk pancake batter with 1 oz. of pumpkin spice puree and whish until fully incorporated and the mixture has a light orange color.

Ladle the mixture on a pancake griddle and place 1 tablespoon of vanilla cream cheese filling in the center of the cake.

Cook for approximately 3 minutes and flip the cake and finish cooking until the pancake is fluffy and not overcooked.

Remove from the griddle, top with a dollop of whipped cream, drizzle with more cream cheese filling and 1 tablespoon of spiced pepitas. 

Drizzle the pancake with pure maple syrup.  If you’re feeling really Snoozy infuse the syrup with flamed off bourbon.
