whole grain gingerbread pancakes

I don't get people who say they don't eat breakfast.  Seriously?  I can't remember a time I didn't eat breakfast.  From my memories as a child where my mom prepared breakfast for six little ones before ushering us off to school every morning, to today, where I make breakfast for Michael and I everyday before we both rush out the door to work. 

Today when I got up for breakfast, there was no rushing off to anywhere so after my morning run, I felt this morning deserved pancakes.  Not your average typical run of the mill pancake though.  This cool fall morning deserved a spicy with the right amount of sweet kind of pancake.  This recipe is definitely a keeper.
