Make soft, fluffy pumpkin pancakes filled with warm cinnamon and nutmeg flavors. This easy homemade breakfast comes together quickly and uses simple pantry ingredients for a cozy fall morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This is your dry mixture.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, and eggs until combined.
  3. Pour the wet pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Gently fold in the melted butter.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. You want the surface hot enough that a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  8. Serve your fluffy pumpkin pancakes warm with maple syrup and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy pumpkin pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This allows the baking powder to activate fully.
  • Use full-fat canned pumpkin puree for the best texture and flavor in your fall breakfast ideas.
  • If you want a stronger pumpkin spice flavor, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
