The Best Pumpkin Pie Pancakes

Ready for the best Pumpkin Pancakes? Light, fluffy pancakes are flavored with pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and a hint of clove to make them taste just like pumpkin pie! Once you try them they will be your go-to fall breakfast.

I know I'm not alone with my pumpkin obsession (as I could tell from the response to my Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe!) and I'm always experimenting with recipes I can add pumpkin to, like these delicious Pumpkin Pancakes!

Today's recipe took quite a few trials of recipe testing to get perfect. Making pumpkin pancakes can be hard because if you don't do it just so you get heavy, dense pancakes. 

This easy pumpkin pancake recipe is wonderful because it has all that delicious pumpkin pie flavor but keeps the light and fluffy pancake texture we all love. Even better, you probably have all of the ingredients already on hand!

Tips for best results

• Mix batter until just blended, overmixing will cause pancakes to be tough.
• If you prefer, you can substitute 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove.
• Spray the griddle with nonstick spray between batches.
• Use a ⅓ measuring cup to pour batter.
