Pumpkin Pancakes Ingredients
This recipe uses simple pantry ingredients and a can of pumpkin puree. You’ll need pancake mix, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, canned pumpkin puree, vanilla, and milk. Finish the stack with maple syrup, whipped cream, and a pinch of extra pumpkin spice for garnish.
How to Make Pumpkin Pancakes
Start by preparing the pancake batter. In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed. Add the canned pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and milk, then whisk until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
How to Cook Pancakes
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly oil or butter the surface. Pour portions of batter onto the hot skillet and cook until bubbles form across the top and the edges look set — that’s your cue to flip. Cook the other side until golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes warm in a low oven if desired.
Serve the pancakes stacked with warm maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, and a dusting of pumpkin spice. These toppings enhance the pumpkin flavor and make an inviting fall presentation.
