Pumpkin pancakes
You can’t beat the taste of these homemade pumpkin pancakes filled with pumpkin spices and everything tasty. Start your day with these delicious and spiced pumpkin pancakes.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 4 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk/ 2%
- More butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, pumpkin spice, ground cinnamon, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
- Combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract separately. Whisk to combine and pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Stir just enough to moisten the flour mixture, and if you overwork the mixture, the pancakes will be tough. Make sure there are no patches of dry flour at the bottom of the bowl, and It should look a little lumpy. The batter is thick, and a few lumps are okay.
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes as you preheat the griddle or skillet on the stove. This gives the batter a chance to thicken.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat; coat it lightly with vegetable oil or butter. Pour the batter onto the skillet, using about ¼ cup for each pancake (I like to use an ice cream scoop for easy scooping and pouring of the pancake batter). Cook until the first side is golden brown or until the top surface bubbles and is dotted with holes for about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until cooked through, about 1 more minute.
- Serve pancakes immediately.
- Cover and store leftover pancakes in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
Notes
How to Freeze Pancakes.
These American pancakes can be frozen for up to 3 months. To store them, allow the pancakes to cool completely, and then place a sheet of parchment or wax paper between each pancake and stack them together. Wrap the stack of pancakes tightly in aluminum foil or place it inside a heavy-duty freezer bag.
To reheat, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake in a 375°F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes or until hot.
