When Autumn finally gets here, I love pumpkin recipes! They are delicious and make everything taste like Fall. On a chilly Saturday morning, my family enjoys these Easy Pumpkin Pancakes. I know you’ll enjoy them as well.
The Best Pumpkin Pancake Recipe:
These are the best pumpkin pancakes from scratch. These are some of the most decadent pancakes I have ever had. They are almost more like dessert than breakfast.
These pancakes are light and fluffy and an easy breakfast idea especially during the fall months. You are going to love these pumpkin spice pancakes. This recipe is super easy to make because I simply added a few pumpkin ingredients to our regular homemade pancake mix.
Pumpkin Pancakes with Pancake Mix:
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! I make up a large batch so I know I can have pancakes and waffles anytime.
Perfect Pumpkin Pancakes Tips:
Use these tips to make the perfect pumpkin pancakes for your family!
- Make your pancake mix the night before. Just store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to use in the morning.
- These pancakes can be made in different sizes. Sometimes I like making big ones and other times I like making small ones. Whichever size you make, your family will love them.
- Make sure to use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. The pumpkin pie filling doesn’t work well with this recipe.
- You can also add in some mini or regular chocolate chips to the pumpkin pancake batter.
Perfect 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.
I hope you’ll love these pumpkin pancakes as much as much as my entire family does.
