Description
These soft, fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes are warmly spiced and perfect for a cozy fall breakfast or brunch. With real pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and nutmeg, they’re a seasonal favorite that’s easy to make and sure to impress. Serve them as breakfast appetizers, a sweet brunch centerpiece, or even as a dessert with whipped cream and caramel drizzle.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice ¾ cup pumpkin puree 1 cup milk (plus more if needed) 1 large egg 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, toasted pecans
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. 2. In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. 3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix — a few lumps are fine. 4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a little butter. Scoop ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. 5. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. 6. Serve warm, stacked with your favorite toppings like syrup, whipped cream, or caramel drizzle.
Notes
• Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. • Don’t overmix the batter for fluffy pancakes. • Medium heat is key — too hot will burn the outside before the inside cooks. • Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer and reheat in toaster or oven.
