IHOP has so much going on right now...

It is so funny to me.  My mom and brother had a tradition of Ihop breakfast over the years and looks like I will be continuing on that tradition with my kids too!  Broxton loves Ihop and Savannah seems to like it as well, must be something about those pancakes!!!  Marc and I have made a few breakfast dates to go and enoy their menu when Broxton is in school, so when I heard about the latest things going on at our local Ihop, I knew we would need to go check it out!

Seasonal Flavor Pancakes: 

Wafting scents of cinnamon, nutmeg and baked apples evoke fond memories of fall family traditions and time spent around bonfires, playing in leaf-filled backyards and picking pumpkins. Now, IHOP^® Restaurants has reimagined these craveable seasonal tastes as Pumpkin Spice Pancakes and a first-of-its-kind culinary creation, Apple Ring Pancakes. The brand invites guests to make breakfast a new fall tradition and to “Eat Up Every Moment^SM” at IHOP with someone special. The playful phrase is a nod to the many life moments – big and small – that guests enjoy every day in IHOP restaurants as well the driving force behind the breakfast leader’s new advertising campaign.

Both pancake flavors will be available for a limited time at participating IHOP restaurants across the U.S.:

• Pumpkin Spice Pancakes – A perennial IHOP fan favorite, Pumpkin Spice Pancakes bring back memories of hot pumpkin pie baking in the oven. This offer features three pancakes made with real pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg and crowned with creamy whipped topping.

• NEW! Apple Ring Pancakes – Reminiscent of grandma’s best apple desserts, the new Apple Ring Pancakes feature three Silver Dollar Buttermilk pancakes with a Gala apple ring griddled inside, then topped with cinnamon sugar, creamy cinnamon apple butter and garnished with a grilled apple slice.

Apple Ring Pancakes and Pumpkin Spice Pancakes are available September 26 through November 13 at participating IHOP restaurants nationwide.

We had to go and check out the Seasonal Flavors of their pancakes.  I told Marc we each needed to get a different one, so that we could try them both out.  He has always been a fan of pumpkin, so we decided he woud get the pumpkin and I would get the apple.  They were both great, but honestly, I will be ordering the pumpkin ones from now on.  I did enjoy the toppings on the pancakes, but other than that, there was nothing much to them as far as flavor.  Yes, it basically says so in the description, but I was thinking it was going to be more. Maybe mix in applesauce, or diced up apples in the pancakes, not just the apple ring?  The pumpkin ones were amazing!  I think Marc knew I was going to go for his more, so he ate them first, while I was eating my eggs. Smart man there!
Let me know if you are a fan of Pancakes.  Which do you think you would like more? The apple or the pumpkin?
