Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes are a delightful autumn-inspired breakfast treat that combine the warm spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger with smooth pumpkin puree for a moist, flavorful pancake.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until evenly combined. In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined, leaving some lumps to keep the pancakes tender. Avoid overmixing.
  2. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter the surface. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
  3. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the fluffy pumpkin pancakes warm. They go wonderfully with maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance the cozy flavors. Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes; a few lumps are fine.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes.
  • Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
  • For vegan variations, substitute eggs with flax eggs and milk with plant-based milk.
