Pumpkin Pancakes
This Pumpkin Pancake recipe is going to be your new favorite breakfast! It’s easy to make, and the pancakes come out perfectly tender and fluffy every time. When these pumpkin pancakes hit the griddle, the entire house smells like everything we love about fall. This recipe is truly one of our family favorites. I go back to it every year, and it never disappoints. I’ve also discovered that when you top them with a little whipped cream, they taste just like pumpkin pie for breakfast!
Recipe Tip: These pancakes make great leftovers. I usually double the recipe and save the leftovers for the rest of the week. You can refrigerate them for up to 3 days or freeze to keep them longer.
How to Make Pumpkin Pancakes
- In a large batter bowl, start by whisking together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together pumpkin, milk, egg, butter, apple cider vinegar, and pure vanilla extract.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients to combine them into one delicious batter.
- The easiest way to make pancakes is to use a nonstick electric griddle
. Heat electric griddle to 325 degrees.
- Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup
to pour the batter onto the griddle.
- Let pancakes cook for 5-7 minutes, or until edges start to set.
- Flip when edges are dry and pancakes start to bubble.
- Cook for another 4 minutes.
