Pumpkin Pancakes
Can I Freeze Pancakes?
Yes, you can definitely freeze pancakes. In fact, I like to double or triple the recipe when I have the time just to make extra for the week! To freeze pancakes, let them cool to room temperature. Then, place the pancakes individually on a baking sheet to put in the freezer for about 30 minutes. (This is so they don’t stick together when you pack them in a freezer bag.)
After they are slightly frozen, put them in a labeled sealable freezer bag. Be sure to include the date and what kind of pancakes are in the bag. They will last up to three months.
When you are ready to enjoy the pancakes, just take as many as you need out of the freezer and microwave them for about a minute.
PRO TIP: To make the edges a little crisp, pop them in the toaster for a bit. Once you see how easy and tasty this is, you will definitely make extra pancakes next time!
