Pumpkin Pancakes

These pancakes have been a staple in our family for the last 15 years. They are the perfect breakfast for cool mornings, especially when it is Pumpkin Spice, I mean Fall, season. Go all out and pair the pancakes with a homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte!

Pumpkin Pancakes Ingredients

Pumpkin Pie Spice: Be sure to have pumpkin spice around your house for everything pumpkin. And, if you don’t have any on hand, it is super easy to make your own homemade pumpkin pie spice!

Pumpkin Puree: Be sure to look for pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin puree is cooked pumpkin that is blended or mashed into a smooth texture. There should be no seasoning, spice, flavoring, or sugar added. We are adding our own seasoning and sweetness into these pancakes so just want the pure pumpkin flavor of the puree.

Molasses: You will notice that molasses is optional in the recipe. I used molasses to get the most flavor in the pancakes. However, you can leave it out if you don’t have any on hand.

Optional Maple Whipped Cream Topping

Another optional (and delicious) topping would be to top the pancakes with maple whipped cream. To make the whipped cream, I started by whipping 1 cup of heavy cream. Then, I added approximately a teaspoon of maple syrup and stirred it by hand. It ends up being a very loose Maple Whipped Cream but perfect for these pumpkin pancakes. Finish it up with another drizzle of syrup and you have a decadent breakfast!
