Fluffy and sweet, these pumpkin pancakes are excellent alongside a cup of milk or hot tea for breakfast. They have lovely fall flavours such as pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon and nutmeg and drizzled with sweet maple syrup. In fact, making these pumpkin pancakes is an excellent way of using any pumpkin puree leftovers, yet they are so delicious.
To me, the perfect pancake is the one that is fluffy, soft and flavourful; these pumpkin pancakes are one of these perfect pancakes which you never get bored of making again and again; they are just perfectly fluffy, soft and easy to make.
When it's pumpkin season, I love making a lot of pumpkin recipes such as pumpkin bread, cheesecake, bundt cake and of course these lovely pumpkin pancakes.

Pro's Tips
For making perfect pancake round shape, you can use a pancake pan; it is a nice and easy tool to use that makes round pancakes.
If you prefer to eat pancakes without adding any syrup, I suggest adding two more tablespoons of sugar to the ingredient.
You can top these pancakes with maple or golden syrup, chocolate, a dollop of cream, cream cheese or some chopped fresh fruits.
Can I Freeze These Pumpkin Pancakes?
Yes, you can. They freeze so well. For me, I like to make triple batches of these pancakes, because my young daughter adores them, and keep them in the freezer, so they are ready when we need them. All you need to do is defrost then microwave them.
