    Canned Pumpkin Vs Homemade Pumpkin Puree

    This recipe calls for store-bought canned pumpkin as long as it is 100% puree pumpkin puree. There are some canned pumpkins in the stores that are made with other ingredients blended with pumpkin puree.

    Homemade pumpkin puree tends to have more liquids in it, so if you use it, you may need to add 2-3 tablespoons of flour.

    Pro's Tips

    • For making a perfectly round shape pancake, you can use a pancake pan; it is a nice and easy tool to use that makes round pancakes.
    • Use a nonstick pan to not damage the pancakes while flipping them.
    • If you prefer to eat pancakes without adding any syrup, I suggest adding two more tablespoons of sugar to the ingredient.
    • Get the right consistency. If the batter is thick than it should be, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or milk, and if the batter is runny, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour.

    Topping Options

    You can top these pancakes with maple or golden syrup, chocolate, a dollop of Ice cream, whipped cream, cream cheese or some chopped fresh fruits.

    You can also top them with Blackberry Simple Syrup or  Mango Compote.
