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.

    I made these this a.m., they were delicious! I don’t care for the taste of pumpkin but my family does. As an act of love I made them for them and I really really enjoyed them.

    These are amazing! Recipe is perfect, and resulted in light , fluffy, oh so good pancakes! My daughter got the recited rom a friend who served it with a sauce of ricotta cheese mixed with applesauce and a sprinkle of cinnamon. This combination was unbelievably delicious. Highly recommend!!

    Oh lord. I’m eating these as we speak. They are hands down the best pancakes I have ever had. So fluffy, so seasonally delicious. Don’t change a thing in the recipe. Consider adding a dallop of whipped cream for extra decadence, but dang they don’t need it.
