When Autumn finally gets here, I love pumpkin recipes! They are delicious and make everything taste like Fall. For instance, on a chilly Saturday morning, my family enjoys these Easy Pumpkin Pancakes and I know you’ll enjoy them as well!
This Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe is quick and delicious!
Mmmm… Pumpkin Pancakes! These are some of the most decadent pancakes I have ever had.
They are almost more like dessert than breakfast. However, don’t worry, they’re not TOO sweet. They are just plain delicious.
You are going to love these pumpkin spice pancakes.
Do you want to know what’s even better? This recipe for pumpkin pancakes is super easy to make because I simply added a few pumpkin-y ingredients to our regular homemade pancake mix.
Do you use a store bought mix or homemade mix for these pumpkin pancakes?
You can make this recipe with either a store bought pancake mix or homemade recipe. If you are using a box mix, may I suggest my homemade pancake mix?
Before you shake your head and tell me you already have a favorite mix, I hope you’ll try this recipe.
I used to buy expensive prepackaged pancake mixes until I decided to make my own. Then I learned that making your own is very easy and this mix makes perfect pancakes (and waffles) every time.
For these reasons, it is the ONLY mix I ever use now!
How do you cook easy homemade pumpkin pancakes?
You can use either a griddle or a large cast iron skillet for this easy pancake recipe.
Another little tip that makes pancake making a breeze is to use a cast iron griddle.
It fits over two burners which allows you to make several pancakes at once.
I love it because it doesn’t take up any more room on my counter like an electric griddle will. Also, it stores easily in my pantry.
Therefore, with the small army I feed every day (I have 8 kids), this griddle makes my life just a little bit easier.
In addition, I use a large baking scoop to pour my pancake batter.
This allows me to use just the right amount of batter every time for the perfect size pancakes for my family.
A nice griddle, a measuring cup and measuring spoons is all you’ll need to create these amazing pancakes at home.
Now let’s learn how to make easy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes!
I promise that this recipe is not overly complicated. You don’t have to worry about adding in the dry ingredients at the perfect time or getting the right amount of baking soda for perfect pancakes like some other recipes out there.
You just need common ingredients like milk, pumpkin and your favorite Fall seasonings to make these easy pumpkin pancakes.
For these reasons, this recipe is simple but the results are undeniably delicious!
I hope you’ll love these pumpkin pancakes as much as much as my entire family does.
