Pumpkin Pancakes
October 4, 2010 | Print | E-mail | Filed under pumpkin
Two of my favorite things about weekend mornings are sleeping in, and then making a nice sit-down breakfast for me and my hubby. Unfortunately, my hubby was already out playing football with the guys on Saturday when I started puttering around the kitchen…so, I decided to take the opportunity to make something for breakfast using pumpkin, since he’s not really a big fan of it (although he did enjoy my pumpkin cheesecake, which I consider a major win!). I decided on pumpkin pancakes, so I got out my recipe for gingerbread pancakes and tweaked it to be more in the spirit of fall. These almost made me glad that hubby doesn’t care for pumpkin…more pancakes for me!
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp cloves
- 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
- 2 eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, pumpkin, and eggs. Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until incorporated.
Drop the mixture by tablespoonfuls on to a hot, buttered griddle. Cook for a couple minutes before flipping to cook the other side.
Repeat with the remainder of the batter. Serve with butter and maple syrup.

Love pumpkin pancakes. I have been on a pumpkin waffle kick, but I think I need to switch to pancakes!

Tracy, between you and Jen, I’m going to put those 40 lbs back on in no time. Please tell me you serve these with some crispy bacon.

Yummy! I am eating pumpkin almost everyday these days, love it!

Tracy, you are an evil woman. But I like that about you!
These look like another must try!

Ohhh, these sound wonderful! It’s a cold, rainy day here and I was thinking breakfast for dinner anyhow. Might have to try these! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

is it sad that I like pumpkin but don’t like pumpkin pie? So your cheesecake and pancakes are winners in my books without even trying them yet! LOL

I absolutely love all these fall recipes your posting! I have so many of them bookmarked, now I just need to make them!
October 4th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
Yum, pumpkin pancakes sound so good. I certainly wouldn’t turn down a stack of them.

The color of these pancakes is so pretty. You included two of my favorite baking spices – nutmeg and cloves.

Your husband doesn’t like pumpkin? What is WRONG with him? (: I really need to buy some canned pumpkin. (I was hoping the pumpkins in our garden would grow so I wouldn’t have to buy canned, but no luck this year.) The pancakes look yummy.

mmm….pumpkin pancakes with REAL butter & maple syrup. Heavenly!
October 5th, 2010 at 9:42 am
Mmm I so have to make pancakes now
October 5th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
These look incredible and oh so easy. I will be making these without a doubt!

Every sunday morning, the ritual is hubby makes pancakes for the family. I need to make up a batch of pumpkin puree ( we don’t get that here in the shops) and I have a couple of recipes in mind to try. This looks a like a good test for it! lets see how i go! cheers kari
October 5th, 2010 at 9:47 pm
Always so excited to see what your making next! Yum another winner!
October 5th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
I love pumpkin pancakes! Trader Joe’s makes a really good mix, but I’ll have to try your from scratch recipe. Yum!

This is the perfect idea for fall pancakes!
October 6th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
after my 5 mile run last night i came home and made these for the family. . . yes we had breakfast for dinner. i altered mine and used whole wheat flour, egg beaters and low-fat buttermilk! needless to say. . . i ate 4!!

I immediately printed out this recipe and added with my pile for things to make this Thanksgiving week up here in Canada. Its the perfect Thanksgiving morning breakfast before all the crazy cooking gets started. Thanks

After recently just eating pumpkin baked into something, I can totally understand how good these are. They look delicious
October 7th, 2010 at 4:12 pm
Love, love, love you!! These pancakes look soooo amazing. Wonder if I can convince the hubs that we need to have pancakes for dinner?
October 8th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
There you go again…another delicious fall recipe! Keep them coming…they are fantastic!
October 10th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
These are so perfect for fall, fabulous idea!
October 13th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Beautiful made Tracy! This a.m. I made pumpkin pancakes and wasn’t overly excited with the recipe I used…looking forward to making your recipe!
October 16th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
These will be fun to make this time of ther year!
October 24th, 2010 at 8:41 pm
We made these tonight and the flavor was good, but we weren’t overly thrilled with the recipe. I think it would have been better with regular salt– not kosher. We had little unpleasant pockets of salt in our bites. If we made them again we’d probably add a bit more sugar too.
October 26th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
We made these this morning and they were delicious! The only thing was, we didn’t have maple syrup, so instead we topped them with honey butter.

My parents keep raving about ihops pumpkin pancakes, so i got offended! I can do that!
Made these for lunch for my kids today to test it out. I think next time id add 1/8th tsp ginger…..I think that is the ‘kick’ im missing.

you should change your list of ingredients to say “brown sugar” not sugar. I didn’t know it should have been brown sugar until i read down to the next step, and by then it was too late.
I bet these would be way better with brown sugar.
November 11th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Jessica – It’s actually supposed to be just regular granulated sugar (although you can use brown sugar if you like). Thanks for letting me know about the inconsistency; I’ve updated the instructions.

Thanks for the recipe. It is very early and my daughter has woken me up telling me she wants some fancy and festive pancakes. I stumbled to the computer still in the daze of sleep and googled pumpkin pancakes and Voila’… Thanks for saving my brain so early in the morning.

These are delicious and come together so easily and quickly!! I actually quartered the recipe for a single serving for breakfast (using just 1 egg white) and got 4 pancakes – perfect! They have the perfect hint of fall taste without making you feel like you’re eating pure pumpkin – will definitely be making these again for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack…

This tasted great. And awesome with real maple syrup. I used butter milk which always improves the texture over regular milk. I will definitely make this again.

Can I use this recipe to make waffles?
