How to Make Pumpkin Pancakes
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, vanilla, pumpkin, sugar, and melted butter.
- Sift flour, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and baking powder into the pumpkin mixture.
- Stir until combined.
- Heat a greased skillet.
- Cook ½ cup of batter for 3 minutes per side until golden.
- Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
Camila's Tips & Variations
- I recommend using a nonstick skillet since it is designed to prevent sticking. Lightly greasing it once should be enough. However, if your pan is older, you might need to add a little more grease each time to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
- Cook at medium-low heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will cook too quickly on the outside and be doughy in the center. Medium heat allows the pancakes to cook evenly throughout.
- When bubbles appear on the surface of the batter, and the edges start to look set, it's time to flip the pancakes.
- Don't press down on the pancakes while they are cooking. This will force out the air and make them dense.

Tools
- Whisk or mixing spoon
- Non-stick skillet or griddle
- Ladle or measuring cup for pouring batter
Ingredients
- 175 g all purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons light brown sugar or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ kosher salt
- 160 g pumpkin puree , such as Libby's
- 300 ml whole milk
- 15 ml vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add pumpkin, sugar, eggs, milk, salt, cooled melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely combined.
- Place a sifter over the pumpkin mixture and sift together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and baking powder. Gently stir with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it's fine if the batter is slightly lumpy. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a paper towel. Using a 3.25-oz portion scoop or a ½ cup measuring cup, pour the batter into the skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 3 minutes, until the edges start to set and bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip the pancake and cook for 1 minute or 2 or until golden on the other side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet each time if needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
How to Store:
How to Freeze:
Pancakes are best when freshly cooked. Store cooked pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until hot.
Let the pancakes cool completely. Place parchment or wax paper between each pancake and stack them. Wrap the stack tightly in aluminum foil or place it in a heavy-duty freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat, preheat oven to 375°F. Place pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until hot. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds bursts.
