Incredibly Easy Pumpkin Pancakes

I usually have pancakes for breakfast—I love them so much. However, these pumpkin pancakes are my new favorites.

They are super easy, fluffy, and flavorful! Today, I'll show you how to make the best pumpkin pancakes ever!

Easy Pumpkin Pancakes

I make these super easy pumpkin pancakes all year round. Since my family loves pumpkin, I always make large batches of pumpkin puree and freeze it for all the pumpkin recipes I make throughout the year (here is how I made homemade pumpkin puree).

And this pancake is one of our favourites; it is soft and fluffy. After making this recipe for so long, I found that using Greek yogurt is even better than using milk in this recipe; it gives a better texture and is healthier.

I also like to flavor my pancakes with warm spices such as ground cinnamon and nutmeg and drizzle them with maple syrup.

I like to serve these fluffy pumpkin pancakes with Greek Yogurt Smoothie, Oat Milk Hot Chocolate or Caramel Latte in the morning.

You'll Need

“See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.”

• Pumpkin puree: I used homemade pumpkin puree. However, you may use canned pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie filling.
• Greek-style yogurt: It adds moisture and fluffiness to my pancakes.
• Flour: I used all-purpose flour.
• Butter: I prefer unsalted butter, you may use vegetable oil or coconut oil instead.
• Granulated sugar: Replace with caster sugar or brown sugar.
• Ground cinnamon and nutmeg: For extra flavor.
• Baking powder and baking soda : I use both these leavening agents for extra fluffy pancakes.
• Salt: Just a pinch of salt.
• Oil: To cook the pancakes, I use any vegetable oil.
• Maple syrup: For serving.

How To Make Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes

First Step - Mix the wet ingredients: In a bowl, mix egg, butter and pumpkin puree using a whisk until combined. Then, add yoghurt, mix well.

Second Step - Mix the dry ingredients: Add cinnamon, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt to the flour, mix together.

Third Step - Assemble everything: Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until combined.

Pro Tip: 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.

Fourth Step - Cook the pancakes: Spray a pan with oil and heat the pan, then spoon the batter in the pan trying to make circular pancakes, cook on MEDIUM heat until small bubbles appear on top then flip the pancakes. Repeat until you finish all the batter.

Tip: I recommend using a nonstick pan to not damage the pancakes while flipping them.

Fifth Step - Serving: Serve with butter and maple syrup or any other topping you fancy.

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.
• If you prefer to eat pancakes without adding any syrup, I suggest adding two more tablespoons of sugar to the ingredient.

Topping Options

You can top these pancakes with maple or golden syrup, chocolate, a dollop of Ice cream or whipped cream.

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