Homemade Pumpkin Pancakes for the Perfect Fall Breakfast

When cooler mornings arrive, homemade pumpkin pancakes are an easy way to bring warm fall flavors to the breakfast table. Made with real pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and simple pantry ingredients, these pancakes are a cozy seasonal option for weekend breakfasts or relaxed fall mornings.

The recipe uses familiar ingredients and simple steps, making it approachable for just about any skill level.

How to Make Fluffy Homemade Pumpkin Pancakes

These pumpkin pancakes start with 100% pumpkin combined with flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, sugar, milk or buttermilk, egg, and oil.

The pumpkin adds seasonal flavor while the pumpkin pie spice gives the pancakes that classic warm autumn taste. Using milk or buttermilk also gives you a little flexibility depending on what you already have in the refrigerator.

For soft, fluffy pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter. Mixing only until the ingredients come together can help keep the finished pancakes light rather than dense.

The recipe uses:

• 1 can 100% pumpkin
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2–3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1–2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1/3–1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups milk or buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons oil
