Perfectly Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

I love breakfast, brunch, brinner, and all other excuses to enjoy a big plate of fluffy flapjacks at any time.

And if those hotcakes happen to be flavored with the best ingredients the fall season has to offer…

I’m a happy diner.

That’s why I am head over heels for these pumpkin spice pancakes!

Mixed with pure pumpkin puree, and a generous spoonful of pumpkin spice, you’ll want to make a tall stack just for yourself.

One recipe makes about ten small pancakes, but you can easily double or triple it if there are more guests who want to partake in this sweet breakfast feast.

And don’t forget to top them off with a pat of butter and some delightfully pure maple syrup. Better yet, why not put a small scoopful of pumpkin spice ice cream on top for the ultimate fall breakfast?

Served with a side of fried eggs and crispy bacon, you’re ready to enjoy a hearty meal.

Is that griddle of yours heated yet? It’s time for breakfast!

Cooking by the Numbers…

Step 1 – Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and pumpkin spice mix.

Step 2 – Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate large bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin puree, melted better, and egg.

When using canned puree, be sure to use plain and pure puree, not the spiced pumpkin pie filling. The pie filling will have additional ingredients, like sugar and spices.

Step 3 – Combine

Stir the combined dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until everything is incorporated together. Do not overmix. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Step 4 – Cook

Heat a skillet or griddle to medium heat. When hot, lightly grease with vegetable oil.

Using a ladle, pour about 1/4 cup of batter on the skillet. Cook approximately 3 minutes on each side, until it puffs up and the surface is a golden-brown color.

Remove from the pan with a spatula and set aside on a plate. Repeat until all the batter is used.

Step 5 – Serve

Serve the pancakes with your favorite accompaniments. Maple syrup and butter are most welcome!

A Fall Favorite to Enjoy Any Time

No matter what time of the day it is, you can always enjoy a tall stack of these pumpkin spice pancakes for breakfast, brunch, or brinner.

Or maybe all three.

You can even make your own pumpkin spice mix, by simply combining spices that you already have stored in your spice rack. Ground cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice create an intoxicating blend of the best warming, fall-inspired flavors and aromas.

Whenever you enjoy these, you are sure to love each and every fluffy, tasty bite!

Might as well enjoy these pancakes with a hot cup of coffee flavored with a pumpkin spice creamer. Autumn overkill? I think not!
