The Best Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe!
Oh my goodness, our son had us cracking up comparing the differences between men and women when they are talking on the phone. He and my husband are such simple guys and I am extra in every sense of the word. He nailed his description of each of us and it was hilarious!
Then of course my husband agreed and chimed in with his impersonation of me on the phone and before I knew it I was laughing hysterically at my own expense!
There is nothing quite like enjoying a stack of Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes with your family on a crisp Autumn morning! Packed with warm pumpkin pie spices, real pumpkin puree, and a soft, airy texture, these pancakes bring all the cozy flavors of Fall to your breakfast table.
Why this Recipe Works:
- Warm Spices Enhance the Pumpkin Flavor – Pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon work together to create the classic cozy Fall flavor people love. These spices add warmth and depth to every bite.
- Balanced Sweetness and Flavor – The recipe isn’t overly sweet, allowing the pumpkin, spices, and toppings like maple syrup to shine without overwhelming the palate.
- Perfect for Fall Breakfast – The combination of pumpkin puree, warming spices, and fluffy texture creates a comforting breakfast that is ideal for cool Autumn mornings!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 cups Flour – Provides the structure and body of the pancakes, creating a soft and fluffy texture.
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder – Acts as a leavening agent, helping the pancakes rise and become light and airy.
- 1/4 cup Sugar – Adds sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
- 2 tbsp Brown Sugar – Contributes a rich, caramel-like sweetness and compliments the pumpkin flavor.
- 2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice – A warm blend of spices that gives the pancakes their classic Fall taste.
- 1 tsp Cinnamon – Enhances the cozy, spiced flavor and pairs perfectly with pumpkin.
- 1/2 tsp Salt – Balances the sweetness and brings out the flavors of the other ingredients.
- 1 1/2 cups Milk – Adds moisture and helps create a smooth, pourable batter.
- 1 cup Pumpkin Puree – Provides pumpkin flavor, natural moisture, and a soft, tender texture.
- 2 Eggs – Binds the ingredients together and helps create structure while adding richness.
- 2 tbsp Oil – Keeps the pancakes moist and tender, preventing them from becoming dry.
How to Make Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 cup pumpkin puree, 2 eggs, and 2 tbsp oil.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix.
- Heat a griddle, or skillet, over medium heat. Spray with non-stick spray or brush with butter.
- Spoon 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on top of the batter. Flip and cook until lightly browned on the bottom as well.
My Best Tips:
- Double Brown Sugar if Desired – The 2 tbsp brown sugar yields lightly sweetened pancakes; double for a sweeter taste.
- Don’t Overmix the Batter – Mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
- Keep the Batter Thick – Pumpkin puree adds moisture, so avoid adding extra liquid unless necessary. A slightly thick batter helps create tall, fluffy pancakes.
- Serve Warm with Fall Toppings – Top with maple syrup, chopped pecans, whipped cream, cinnamon butter, or a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for the ultimate Fall breakfast experience!
- How to Freeze – Let the pancakes completely cool, then store in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.
