Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice mix, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix — a few lumps are perfect.
  4. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Ladle about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
  5. Cook until the edges set and the surface is bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more, until golden brown.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
  7. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, whipped cream, or any toppings you like.

Notes

Rest the batter 5 minutes before cooking for extra-fluffy pancakes. No pumpkin spice on hand? Mix 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and a pinch each of ginger and cloves. Leftovers keep in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months — reheat in the toaster.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the batter the night before?

You can, but baking powder loses its lift over time. For the fluffiest result, mix the dry ingredients ahead and stir in the wet ones in the morning.

Why did my pancakes come out flat?

Usually it’s overmixing or old baking powder. Stir the batter until just combined and make sure your baking powder is fresh.

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned puree?

Absolutely. Roast and puree it, then drain off the excess water so the batter doesn’t get too thin.

How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Keep them in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or a 350°F oven so the edges stay crisp.

Why make your own pancakes from scratch instead of using boxed pancake mix?

While boxed pancake mixes are convenient and easy to use, making your own pancakes from scratch has several advantages:

  1. Better taste: Homemade pancakes have a fresher, richer flavor compared to boxed mixes, which often contain preservatives and artificial flavors.
  2. More control over ingredients: Making pancakes from scratch allows you to choose the quality and type of ingredients you use, such as organic flour, free-range eggs, and real butter.
  3. Customizable: You can customize your pancakes by adding your own mix-ins, such as fresh fruit, chocolate chips, or nuts, and adjusting the batter consistency to your liking.
  4. Healthier: Homemade pancakes can be made healthier by using whole-grain flour, reducing the sugar, and using alternative sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
  5. Cost-effective: Making pancakes from scratch can be more cost-effective in the long run, especially if you already have the basic ingredients on hand.

Overall, making your own pancakes from scratch is a fun and rewarding way to start your day with a delicious, satisfying breakfast.
