Quick and Easy Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe
These Pumpkin pancakes are the perfect fall breakfast treat. Light and fluffy but still moist, they are quick to make with every day pantry ingredients!
Ingredients
- 2 cups AP flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1-1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 2 eggs lightly whisked together
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup canned pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
- In a smaller separate bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, milk, canned pumpkin, melted butter and vanilla.
- Using a whisk, then a spatula, mix the wet ingredients in to the dry ingredients until just combined. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the batter in to a hot buttered skillet and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on the first side, until you see the edges drying out and top start to get little bubbles, then flip and cook on the other side for just a minute or two. (If you are using a griddle, set it to 325-350 degrees.)
- Serve with butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, fruit or your favorite toppings!
Notes
A couple of tips for this recipe:
- These are also delicious with some mini chocolate chips. I don't mix the chocolate chips in the batter, I like to sprinkle them on the pancake before flipping - this controls the amount of chocolate chips and makes sure each one gets an even amount.
- To keep the pancakes warm while you are cooking, you can place a baking sheet in an oven heated to 250 degrees, and add the pancakes to the baking sheet as they are cooked, covering with a sheet of foil.
- Some fun things to top pumpkin spice pancakes with: Maple syrup, pancake syrup, caramel syrup, chocolate syrup, Nutella, Biscoff, bananas, chopped apples, some type of whipped cream or cool whip, ice cream, frosting, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, toffee chips, mini marshmallows, marshmallow creme, chopped pecans, granola, and chocolate sprinkles!
