This is simply the best Pumpkin Pancake recipe out there! Light, fluffy pancakes flavored with pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and a hint of clove. Once you try these easy pumpkin pancakes they’re sure to 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!
Ingredients
- flour
- brown sugar
- baking powder
- cinnamon
- ginger
- nutmeg
- salt
- clove
- milk
- canned pumpkin puree
- applesauce
- egg
Step by step
- Preheat the griddle and have nonstick spray ready for when it is time to cook.
- Mix the dry ingredients, including that delicious cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger mixture that gives these pancakes their pumpkin pie flavor!
- In another bowl mix the milk, applesauce, pumpkin, and egg.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, stirring until just blended.
- Spray griddle with nonstick spray and cook pancakes 3 minutes per side or until golden.
I like to serve these with butter, syrup and either pecans or walnuts but for the kiddos whipped cream is the topping of choice!
These pumpkin pie pancakes are the perfect blend of pumpkin pie flavor and that light, fluffy pancake texture that everyone loves! They’re the perfect autumn breakfast!
