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 love this recipe! It’s only September 1st but I’ve made this recipe 3x already! It’s so easy and has a great pumpkin flavor!

  2. 5 stars
    This recipe was so good! I don’t have nutmeg so I used ground cloves. Since I made them for my toddlers I made them by the tablespoonful and it was plenty to freeze for rushed mornings. This will definitely be a family favorite.

  3. These are very good. They were still good even with eliminating the white sugar and cutting back on the seasonings.

    Really good recipe. Reduced the sugar by half and still absolutely fluffy and delicious. Bourbon barrel maple syrup pairs very well.
