Why You’ll Love These Pumpkin Pie Spice Pancakes

When you live in a house with this many kids you tend to become something of a Pancake Queen (or at least I’ve had that honor bestowed upon me). I have perfected Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes, Swedish Pancakes, and even savory Potato Scallion Pancakes. Believe it or not, I also gift people my famous Mason Jar Cranberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes and they flippin’ love it!

What I’m saying is, I’ve made and tried just about every variation of pancake so you can trust me when I say these pumpkin pancakes are unbelievably good! They’re super moist from the pumpkin puree and they taste like fall with all those warm spices mixed in.

Tomorrow morning you should make a steaming hot mug of tea or coffee, and dig into a stack of these delicious flapjacks. It’ll be love at first bite!

How to Make Pumpkin Pancakes

Step 1: Preheat

Preheat your griddle over low to medium-low heat.

Step 2: Mix

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix until they’re just combined. There will be a few lumps and that’s okay!

Step 3: Cook

Pour ¼ cupfuls of batter on the hot griddle and cook until bubbles start to form on the top. Flip the pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes longer, or until they’re lightly browned.

Step 4: Serve

Serve immediately topped with maple syrup (or your favorite toppings!).

FAQs

How to make pancakes the night before?

You can mix the batter the night before and cover it with cling film as it rests in the refrigerator overnight. Heat your griddle and start to cook when you’re ready the next morning!

How long do leftover pancakes last?

Allow your leftover pancakes to cool and then store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container, like a freezer bag, for up to 5 days. Reheat them in the microwave and then add your preferred toppings.

What’s the secret to fluffy pancakes?

Don’t overmix the batter! That’s the number one tip for light and fluffy pancakes. When some people see lumps they think they have to keep mixing until it’s smooth, but that’s not true. Good pancake batter has lumps, so let them stick around.

Serving Suggestions

We all like our pancakes served differently, but here are some different ways I’d suggest enjoying these pumpkin spice pancakes.

The classic way is with good ‘ol maple syrup!
You can add a smear of Pumpkin Butter for even more seasonal flavor.
Add whipped cream to really elevate your pancake experience.
If you want more autumnal vibes, serve your pancakes with some Slow Cooker Apple Cider.
Gently fold some chocolate chips into your batter to make a pumpkin chocolate chip version – yum!
Top your pancakes with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of crunchy pumpkin granola. It’ll add texture, protein, and fiber to your breakfast.
And for those of you who love a salty/sweet combo like I do, serve your pancakes alongside some bacon!
