Tonia’s Notes
The cool fall weather makes me crave warm, comfort food, and these pancakes fit the bill. We enjoy them often for breakfast and sometimes even for dinner. Brian likes chopped pecans, and my kids like it when I add chocolate chips.
I love that they are easy to make, and when we have leftovers, I can pop them in the toaster or microwave for a quick meal. This recipe would be a great choice to make for overnight holiday guests!
How To Make
Whisk Dry Ingredients
Combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Beat Wet Ingredients
Beat the eggs until foamy, and then beat in the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and granulated sugar.
Mix Batter
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir until combined.
Cook In A Skillet
Grease a skillet or electric griddle and add 1/3 cup of batter for large pancakes or 1/4 cup of batter for small pancakes. Cook until bubbles on the top start to pop, then flip the pumpkin pancake over to cook on the other side.
Storage Tips
- Refrigerator: Allow the pancakes to cool, place them in an airtight container or ziptop storage bag with parchment paper between pancakes, and store them in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- Freezer: Store them in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to two months.
- Reheat: You can reheat pumpkin pancakes in the microwave or toaster.
