Traditional pancake ingredients are combined with pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and a touch of brown sugar.

Fall Favorite

While you can add pumpkin to pancake mix, it’s easy to make pumpkin pie pancakes from scratch. Using traditional ingredients, and adding in pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice adds a delicious fall flavor to this recipe reminiscent of my fave pumpkin pie recipe!

Ingredients

You likely have everything you need on hand to make these pumpkin pancakes. They have a light pumpkin flavor with deliciously warm spices.

IMPORTANT The batter for these pancakes is very thick (even thicker than banana pancakes) so once you put it in the pan, you’ll need to spread it using a spatula to shape your pancakes.

  • Pumpkin: Either canned or homemade pumpkin puree give these pancakes a delicious pumpkin flavor!
  • Spice: Pumpkin pie spice are traditional warm flavors that pair well with all pumpkin recipes.
  • Everything nice: A touch of brown sugar (instead of white sugar) adds flavor!
  • Buttermilk: A key ingredient in this recipe is buttermilk (you can make your own substitution here). It is slightly acidic and reacts with baking powder to help these pancakes stay fluffy!

How to Make Pumpkin Pancakes

  • Combine wet ingredients in a bowl and dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Mix wet and dry just until combined.
  • Pour onto a hot greased skillet and gently spread the batter for each pancake with the back of a spatula.
  • Flip each pancake when the bubbles have popped and they’re golden brown and continue to cook until done.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings!

Fave Toppings

Go traditional with real maple syrup, walnuts or pecans, whipped cream, and butter! Real butter of course! Or swap it up with the following:

  • vanilla yogurt and granola
  • sliced bananas
  • poached eggs for a sweet and savory breakfast
  • apple pie filling or other fruit toppings

These easy spiced Pumpkin Pancakes really are the perfect breakfast treat for the fall season but I would make them during Thanksgiving or Christmas as well.
