I have finally found a pumpkin pancake recipe that I like! I’ve tried mixes, I’ve tried making them from scratch…and generally the pancakes come out flat and gooey. Cate’s preschool recently made pumpkin pancakes and shared the recipe they used…and they’re perfect! Yea for preschool teachers!
Pumpkin Pancakes
Adapted by me from a recipe on FoodNetwork.com
- 3 C buttermilk pancake mix (I like Krusteaz the best, Bisquick worked too)
- 2 C cold water
- 2/3 C canned pumpkin
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
In a medium/large bowl, whisk all the ingredients until just blended (batter should have lumps). Spray heavy griddle or skillet with nonstick spray and heat griddle over medium heat. Spoon 2 T (I did 1/4 C) batter unto griddle to form each pancake. Cook until edges are drying and bubbles start to pop, turn and cook a few minutes longer. Serve with lots of butter and maple syrup!

Mmm. Pumpkin pancakes are a favorite in our household. They taste great with Pumpkin Maple Syrup, too!
Pumpkin Maple Syrup
Combine together the following ingredients:
1 C. maple syrup
1 1/4 C. pumpkin
1/4 tsp. cinnamon (could also use pumpkin pie spice, or other spices to taste)

These look perfectly pumpkiny. I’ve tried making these before with kinda iffy results – will try this recipe for sure!

I also really like this recipe. However, when using Krusteaz pancake mix, which I agree is the best, add a about 1 tsp. of baking powder and 1 tsp. of vanilla. This will make whatever pancake variation you choose from this basic recipe a pancakes fluffier, and really bring out the flavors of the spices! Also, you can substitute sweet potatoes for the pumpkin to make sweet potato pancakes, which are also awesome!

Looks yummy and very festive!

Glad you liked them. When Ferneyn made these I told her I didn’t want any because all the pumpkin pancakes I had before were slimy. When the kids gobbled them up I had one and was converted! Happy Halloween!

Approximately how many pancakes does this make?
Comment by g — November 2, 2009 @ 9:29 pm
great question…I always forget to say how much the recipes serve!
I think about 15 3-4 inch pancakes…not sure EXACTLY…but I know we each had 2-3 pancakes, there are 4 of us, and we had about 4 extra!
