Pumpkin Spice Pancakes (Printable)

Fluffy pancakes infused with pumpkin puree and warm cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove spices for the perfect cozy breakfast.

# What you need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tbsp brown sugar
03 - 2 tsp baking powder
04 - 1/2 tsp baking soda
05 - 1/2 tsp salt
06 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
07 - 1/2 tsp ground ginger
08 - 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
09 - 1/8 tsp ground cloves

→ Wet Ingredients

10 - 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
11 - 1 cup whole milk
12 - 2 large eggs
13 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)
14 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

# How to make it:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
02 - In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix (a few lumps are okay).
04 - Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
05 - Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
06 - Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
07 - Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or chopped pecans if desired.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • The pumpkin keeps them incredibly moist without making them dense or heavy.
  • You get all the cozy spice flavor without needing a coffee shop or complicated steps.
  • They reheat beautifully, so you can make extra and toast them all week long.
02 -
  • Dont overmix the batter or your pancakes will turn out dense and rubbery instead of light and fluffy.
  • Let the first side cook completely before flipping, those bubbles are your signal that its ready.
  • If your pancakes are browning too fast but staying raw inside, lower the heat and cook them slower.
03 -
  • Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup as a scoop to keep all your pancakes the same size so they cook evenly.
  • If the batter thickens as it sits, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk to loosen it back up.
  • Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200-degree oven on a baking sheet while you finish the batch.
