Print Recipe

Fluffy pumpkin pancakes made quickly using pancake mix, blending the natural sweetness of pumpkin with warm fall spices, perfect for cozy mornings and family-friendly breakfasts.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Pancake mix – amount as per package for 4 servings
  • Pumpkin puree – 1/2 cup
  • Milk – 1/2 cup (dairy or plant-based for dairy-free option)
  • Egg – 1 large

Sweeteners and Flavorings

  • Maple syrup or sugar – 2 tablespoons
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon

Spices

  • Ground cinnamon – 1 teaspoon
  • Ground nutmeg – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Ground ginger – 1/4 teaspoon

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil – for greasing the skillet

Instructions

  1. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix with the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, maple syrup or sugar, vanilla extract, and the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  2. Prepare Your Cooking Surface: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil to prevent sticking and help form a golden-brown crust.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form around the edges and the surface begins to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve Warm: Stack the pumpkin pancakes on a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, butter, nuts, or whipped cream for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter: Stir until just combined to avoid dense pancakes.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree if possible for natural sweetness, canned works as well.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing to thicken and blend flavors.
  • Cook pancakes over medium heat to avoid burning the outside before inside is cooked.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while preparing the rest.
