Perfect Pumpkin Pancakes are the absolute best and so easy to make with everyday ingredients! Packed full of fall flavor with pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg!
I’ve been making these pumpkin pancakes for years! They’re a fall staple in our house, and we always look forward to them on a chilly weekend morning. While it isn’t quite feeling like autumn here yet, these pancakes have already made a couple of appearances at my kid’s request!
How to Make Pumpkin Pancakes:
- To start go ahead and pre-heat a large non-stick griddle. You can butter the griddle or spray with non-stick cooking spray if desired.
- Next, you will whisk together your dry ingredients. We have the usual suspects of flour, baking powder, and salt. But the great flavor comes from the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
- Then, in a second bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree with the granulated and brown sugar, vanilla, melted butter, eggs, and milk.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be a tad lumpy. Then allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes.
- I use a 1/3 cup measure to pour these pumpkin pancakes on the griddle. Use the bottom of the measuring cup to gently spread the pancake batter out. The pancakes will need to cook for about 4 minutes per side.
Enjoy!

Delicious!!
Hands down the best pumpkin recipe I have ever eaten!!!! The taste and texture are AMAZING!!
These were absolutely AMAZING! My mother enjoys ginger and nutmeg flavors so they were perfect for breakfast. Thank you for the awesome recipe!
Amazing! Made these this morning as a special Thanksgiving breakfast and my three siblings and I loved them. They have a bit of a buttery taste to me, but were still delicious. The texture was pleasant, and they were definitely filling! Ended up saving some in the freezer to heat up as leftovers. I did swap the flour for gluten free flour, but it didn’t affect the recipe in my opinion.
Best pancakes I’ve ever made or eaten! Incredibly light and fluffy. The spices are perfect. Thank you!
Made these for breakfast this morning. They were great and very filling. I did make some minor changes. I used Long Island Cheese Pumpkin and they are naturally sweet. So, I left the granulated sugar out and reduced the brown sugar to a tablespoon, added a 1/2 teaspoon of Allspice and a tablespoon of Molasses. I always add a tablespoon of molasses to each cup of pumpkin in any recipe. It adds a little depth and color. I will be adding them to the rotation of breakfast items.
A dollop of cool whip and my kids ranked these above pumpkin pie! Delicious start to our day!!
Oh my goodness!! These were absolutely incredible. My husband and two kids loved them! Thank you!
